adding a comment could be nice to avoid people thinking to "clean this up" in the future.

Anyway, applied. Related in the widest sense:

I have an issue with the default opened console viewer, a VM always opens the xtermjs
one when IMO the spice viewer or noVNC one should be preferred.

Setup details

* windows VM
** display spice (qxl)
** serial port added
* datacenter options for console viewer set to html5
