Libvirt: Use the virtlogd deamon for logs
If the *serial console* feature is enabled on a compute node with
``[serial_
boot messages. From a REST API perspective, this means that the two APIs
``os-getConsole
Both APIs can be valuable for cloud operators in the case when something
goes wrong during the launch of an instance. This blueprint wants to lift
the XOR relationship between those two REST APIs.

libvirt: virtlogd: use "log" element in char devices
Marking this as Medium priority since it should close our old long-standing security bug for console logs growing indefinitely. -- mriedem 20160602
There are still open changes for this and we're past non-priority feature freeze for Newton so this is going to be deferred to Ocata. Landing the feature with the workaround option because of the qemu bug is the real blocker here, so let's get that sorted out by Ocata so this can get in early in that release. -- mriedem 20160705
