Currently we are limited to use the first serial console available.
Some machines/guest might use another console than the first one as
the 'boot console'.
To be able to use the N console as default, we simply need to connect
all the N - 1 consoles to the null chardev.
Add an index argument, so we can use a specific serial console as
default.
