It might be helpful to abstract this into a separate helper, as it's
used by both functions:
static void fill_console_prefix(char *prefix, unsigned int len,
const struct domain *d)
{
struct domain *consd = console_get_domain();
if ( consd ? consd != d : !is_hardware_domain(d)) )
snprintf(prefix, len, "(d%d) ", d->domain_id);
console_put_domain(consd);
}
Note the above code should also handle the current discussion of not
printing the (d0) prefix for the hardware domain when the console
target is Xen. I think this keeps the previous behavior when console
input is switched to Xen, while still providing unified (dX) prefixes
otherwise.
Thanks, Roger.
