Description:
Setting falcon_serial_log_dir has no effect. The serial log is created in the data dir in
any case.

How to repeat:
Set falcon_serial_log_dir in my.cnf:

falcon_serial_log_dir = /data/log/mysql51

[21:23] root@test>SHOW variables LIKE 'falcon_serial_log_dir';
+-----------------------+-------------------+
| Variable_name         | Value             |
+-----------------------+-------------------+
| falcon_serial_log_dir | /data/log/mysql51 |
+-----------------------+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

[21:23] root@test>CREATE TABLE t1 (a int) Engine Falcon;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

Exit the mysql client and look into falcon_serial_log_dir directory:
lu0011:/data/log/mysql51# ls -las
total 8
4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-09-13 21:19 .

The falcon_serial_log_dir parameter has been implemented via WL#4709, "Falcon: Serial log
location parameter".

The correct worklog is WL#4079.

Verified that setting falcon_serial_log_dir works now.

A note has been added to the 6.0.4 changelog: 

Using falcon_serial_log_dir to set the location of the Falcon serial log would have no
effect.
