Hi Gerd,

its great to get text terminals without VTE now.

I tested the series on a Linux x86_64 host. Native QEMU for this host
seems to work fine. QEMU for 64 bit Windows with wine64 shows several
issues:

* The text consoles are named vc1, vc2, vc3 in the menu.
* The text consoles show a black left border initially.
* Booting a Linux guest is extremely slow. I see several timeouts:
  err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x9a9560 "?" wait timed
out in thread 0030,
 blocked by 002c, retrying (60 sec)

Stefan
