If you need an early console, why not simply wire the 8250 emulation in kvmtool to be useable from the MMIO bus? I reckon this would solve your problem in a more elegant way...
The other approach I thought of would be something involving defining a hypercall interface for console I/O, in the same way that we have hypercalls for "start cpu"/"stop cpu"/etc. Is there any mileage in considering that approach, or is it a non-starter?
