Daniel P. Berrange 0f31f7b794 Add support for multiple consoles in LXC
Currently the LXC controller only supports setup of a single
text console. This is wired up to the container init's stdio,
as well as /dev/console and /dev/tty1. Extending support for
multiple consoles, means wiring up additional PTYs to /dev/tty2,
/dev/tty3, etc, etc. The LXC controller is passed multiple open
file handles, one for each console requested.

* src/lxc/lxc_container.c, src/lxc/lxc_container.h: Wire up
  all the /dev/ttyN links required to symlink to /dev/pts/NN
* src/lxc/lxc_container.h: Open more container side /dev/pts/NN
  devices, and adapt event loop to handle I/O from all consoles
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Setup multiple host side PTYs

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
