Given that the test is specific to x86_64 and pc, and new tests are
going to be added to the same class, let's rename it accordingly.
Also, let's make the class documentation not architecture specific.

Currently, some tests contains target architecture information, in the
form of a "x86_64" tag. But that tag is not respected in the default
execution, that is, "make check-acceptance" doesn't do anything with
it.
That said, even the target architecture handling currently present in
the "avocado_qemu.Test" class is pretty limited. For instance, by
default, it chooses a target based on the host architecture.
Because the original implementation of the tags feature in Avocado did
not include any time of namespace or "key:val" mechanism, no tag has
relation to another tag. The new implementation of the tags feature
from version 67.0 onwards, allows "key:val" tags, and because of that,
a test can be classified with a tag in a given key. For instance, the
new proposed version of the "boot_linux_console.py" test, which
downloads and attempts to run a x86_64 kernel, is now tagged as:
🥑 tags=arch:x86_64
This means that it can be filtered (out) when no x86_64 target is
available. At the same time, tests that don't have a "arch:" tag,
will not be filtered out.

The Avocado test runner attemps to find its INSTRUMENTED (that is,
Python based tests) in a manner that is as safe as possible to the
user. Different from plain Python unittest, it won't load or
execute test code on an operation such as:
$ avocado list tests/acceptance/
Before version 68.0, the logic implemented to identify INSTRUMENTED
tests would require either the "🥑 enable" or "🥑
recursive" statement as a flag for tests that would not inherit
directly from "avocado.Test". This is not necessary anymore,
and because of that the boiler plate statements can now be removed.

This test boots a Linux kernel, and checks that the given command
line was effective in two ways:
* It makes the kernel use the set "console device" as a console
* The kernel records the command line as expected in the console
Given that way too many error conditions may occur, and detecting the
kernel boot progress status may not be trivial, this test relies on a
timeout to handle unexpected situations. Also, it's *not* tagged as a
quick test for obvious reasons.
It may be useful, while interactively running/debugging this test, or
tests similar to this one, to show some of the logging channels.
Example:
$ avocado --show=QMP,console run boot_linux_console.py
