Maybe you can drop this now? If not, what error are you getting?

Maybe you can drop this now? Yes, thanks for pointing that out! I'm simplifying the set_console() behavior and dropping the CONSOLE_DEV_TYPES dict completely. > If not, what error are you getting? No errors, it seems to work great now. - Cleber.

The set_console() utility function traditionally adds a device either based on the explicitly given device type, or based on the machine type, a known good type of device. But, for a number of machine types, it may be impossible or inconvenient to add the devices my means of "-device" command line options, and then it may better to just use the "-serial" option and let QEMU itself, based on the machine type, set the device accordingly. To achieve that, the behavior of set_console() now flags the intention to add a console device on launch(), and if no explicit device type is given, and there's no definition on CONSOLE_DEV_TYPES, the "-serial" is going to be added to the QEMU command line, instead of raising exceptions. Based on testing with different machine types, the CONSOLE_DEV_TYPES is now being set to the bare essential entries (one entry to be honest), for machine types that can not easily give us a working console with "-serial".
