[kernel-xen] xenconsoled starts twice

[Glenn Enright]

Hiya,

Yeah xenconsoled is essential. We use xl.

The issue I faced is that there is an init script for it, but there is 
also a command to start it in xencommons. I had both enabled in the 
startup sequence. If more than one instance is running that confuses 
things :).

For now I've just explicitly disabled the init script, and let 
xencommons take care of it.
