I tried to use the same technique as you used in vgasrc/Kconfig:
config DEBUG_IO
depends on !COREBOOT && DEBUG_LEVEL != 0
bool "Special IO port debugging"
default y
help
Some emulators or hypervisors provide with a way to output debug
information by outputing strings in a special port present in the
IO space.
choice
depends on DEBUG_IO
prompt "Debug IO port address"
default DEBUG_IO_PORT_XEN if XEN
default DEBUG_IO_PORT_BOCHS
config DEBUG_IO_PORT_BOCHS
bool "0x402 (Bochs)"
config DEBUG_IO_PORT_XEN
bool "0xe9 (Xen)"
config DEBUG_IO_PORT_CUSTOM
bool "Custom"
endchoice
config DEBUG_IO_PORT
hex
prompt "Debug IO port address" if DEBUG_IO_PORT_CUSTOM
default 0x0402 if DEBUG_IO_PORT_BOCHS
default 0x00e9 if DEBUG_IO_PORT_XEN
default 0x0000
help
Bochs uses the 0x0402 address by default, whereas Xen
makes the 0xe9 IO address available for guests use.
Unfortunately, it still seem subject to the same issue. Is there
anything I am missing here ?
