The test would call `pxe_boot` and run parallelly, and that would

Remove "virtio_console..check_zero_sym"

This test used a wrong assumption that this symlink must always
exists, but it doesn't have to be there when other virtio device
is present. Let's just rely only on the "_get_port_status" test
which makes sure the number of symlinks correspondent to number
of devices.

Use "six.string_types" instead of "str"

rng_hotplug: Fix the issue of fd leak

With the py3k changes some returns are not strings, but decoded
unicodes. Currently this mainly breaks monitor returns, where human
monitor gets recognized as qmp one. Let's use "six.string_types" that
provides the right string types for given python version.
