Should this be a <channel> at all?
We generally use <serial> for native emulated devices such as isa-serial, which isa-debugcon seems very closely related to...

<serial> is aiming to expose general purpose guest data channels.
To me isa-debugcon is an application specific data channels, so <channel> feels a better fit.
Maybe I have misunderstood what isa-debugcon is, but it looks more of a general purpose channel in the vein of isa-serial rather than something application specific like the qemu-guest-agent or SPICE channels for example.
My understanding is that isa-debugcon is a special device just for usage by SeaBIOS to emit debug messages.
