All not needed. Simply registering as qdev device is enougth. You can
then add a debug port like this, without adding new cmd line options:
-chardev vc,id=debug -device isa-debugcon,chardev=debug
Adding a second one on a non-default port works this way:
-chardev vc,id=d2 -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0xea,chardev=d2
Sure, but is that user friendly?
Question still stands... if this is The Way It Is Done, then I'll do it
that way, but I will personally never be able to remember to type the
above stuff without looking it up every time, whereas "-debugcon stdio"
is something I can remember in my sleep.
You can stick it into a config file[1] like this:
[chardev "debuglog"]
backend = "file"
path = "/path/to/debug.log"
[device]
driver = "isa-debugcon"
chardev = "debuglog"
Then use "qemu -readconfig $file".

[1] Well, almost, fix to make this actually work went to the list today.
