Dom0 may be accessed via telnet, meaning the default escape character
(which is the same as telnet's) cannot be directly used to exit the
console. It would be helpful to make the escape character customizable
in such use cases, falling back to the existing 

Make the necessary changes to the console client, libxl and the xl
console sub-command to support this.

Changes in v4:
 * Update xl docs
 * Add necessary changes for libxl API version compatibility
 * Improve escape sequence argument validation

Peter Hoyes (2):
  tools/console: Add escape argument to configure escape character
  xl: Add escape character argument to xl console

In the patches you did not add a change log to get what has been modified
between versions of the serie.
This is making it a bit harder to diff review.

Could you resent your serie and add a change log:
--
Changes in v4:
- xxx
- xxx

Changes in v3:
- xxx

...etc

Thanks

Cheers
Bertrand
