+          ppc64, aarch64 and s390x guests were treating the &lt;serial&gt;
+          and &lt;console&gt; elements differently from x86, in some cases
+          presenting misleading information to the user. The behavior is now
+          consistent across all architectures and the information reported
+          is always accurate.
