ccc-analyzer reports this warning:

console.c:1090:29: warning: Dereference of null pointer
        if (active_console->cursor_timer) {
                            ^

Function console_select allows active_console to be NULL,
but would crash when accessing cursor_timer. Fix this.

Please note that I don't have a test case which triggers the crash.

The only path that could trigger this is console_select() in the absence
of any console. Not sure if that is possible, but the above is surely
consistent with existing code.

Ping? It's still missing in QEMU 1.2.

It'll need to wait for 1.3 to open up.  I missed it for 1.2-rc2 and at
this point, I don't want to commit anything other than actual bug fixes.
