That all looks like sensible QEMU implementation possibilities but it seems to be a bit of a non-sequitur from "how do we tell the kernel to actually use this?"
You enable the feature in the virtio console device, and a kernel compiled with EARLY_PRINTK will use it?
Well, at the moment EARLY_PRINTK is hardcoded to "use some specific UART or equivalent selected at compile time". So the equivalent presumably would be to hard-compile "use virtio-console", but then how does that code know where the virtio-console is in the address space?
