Bug 1243474

Description of problem:
When OpenStack uses libvirt(KVM) as hypervisor, it creates multiple devices for the guest:
* One device is used to log the kernel boot messages into a 
  file on the host
* another device is used to provide a "serial TCP console" if a host
  doesn't support graphical devices like VNC or SPICE.

In the case where this TCP device is created, it is not possible to
login to the guest with "virsh console <domain> [--devname]".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.2.2


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start a domain (XML below) which has a serial TCP device
2. login to the domain with "virsh console <domain>" 


Actual results:
error: internal error character device (null) is not using a PTY


Expected results:
Login to the guest and prompt for credentials (like it is done if the PTY device is used)

Additional info:
