Yes, obmc-console now ships a udev rules file that launches obmc-console-server
via an `ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}` directive:

https://github.com/openbmc/obmc-console/commit/fdf1a7102f800711daadfc3895fc8feeffa73c0e#diff-416dba8b88aad2291d9c314cfa7a75f1

I saw on IRC you need to launch obmc-console-server for UARTs other than the
VUARTS - please send a patch to the rules file in obmc-console adding the
UARTs you need. As noted in the commit message systemd will only attempt
to start obmc-console-server for the UARTs that have configuration files installed
on the system, so we can in theory support adding rules for each UART without
negative effects.

Hope that helps,

Andrew
