We could search for this line in /var/log/dmesg on the guest:

This seems like a reasonable suggestion. The worst that can happen is
it fails to find this line and the console is not configured.
You can use:
@lines = $g->fgrep ("Xen virtual console successfully installed as xvc0",
"/var/log/dmesg");
if (@lines >= 1) {
...
}
to test for this. Could you modify the patch?
