log_path is required in _create_pty_device if: 1. serial consoles are disabled 2. libvirt/qemu are new enough that they support virtlogd This was working fine for kvm and qemu since _create_consoles_s390x and _create_consoles_qemu_kvm pass in the log_path, but for the non-kvm/qemu cases, like xen, the log_path wasn't provided. This wasn't caught by the XenProject CI since it's using libvirt 1.3.1 which does not have virtlogd support so this path was not exercised and apparently not unit tested either. A release note is provided since this is a pretty severe bug if you're running new enough libvirt/qemu and not using kvm/qemu as the virt type because CONF.serial_console.enabled is False by default so you're going to have failed server creates immediately upon upgrading to Ocata.
