Oh, I forgot this tree has the SuSE patch which changes some of this
stuff back to match the old -xen trees rather than the modern paravirt

You could try using xvc rather than hvc. That was the previous name of
hvc in the old trees.

I'm not convinced we actually want this aspect of the SuSE patch,
Bastian what do you think?
