I am not against using 8250 emulation (as far as it solves printk issues for kernel booting logs), but my point is why not to add early read-write support for virtio console, which also can be useful in emulation less mach-virt environment also ?
We can have both, but only one of those requires a change to the virtio specification.
I don't think avoiding writing a spec is necessarily a good reason for insisting on emulation of a lump of hardware 95% of whose capabilities you aren't going to use...
