This doesn't compile:

  conf/domain_conf.c: In function 'virDomainDefAddConsoleCompat':
  conf/domain_conf.c:4396:16: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
               if (def->serials[0]->targetModel == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_SERIAL_TARGET_MODEL_ISA_DEBUGCON)

You need to add ATTRIBUTE_FALLBACK after the break to make the
compiler happy. A short comment explaining why you're skipping
isa-debugcon would definitely be appreciated as well.

Even with that fixed, while your code prevents a <console> element
associated to the isa-debugcon to be automatically created, it
doesn't prevent something like

  <console type='pty'/>
  <serial type='file'>
    <source path='...'/>
    <target type='isa-serial'>
      <model name='isa-debugcon'/>
    </target>
  </serial>

to result in the same problematic configuration, while the user
clearly wanted to have both a regular serial console *and* the
isa-debugcon.

I'm actually not sure we can make something very reasonable like
the above work... Perhaps we'll be forced to use <channel> after
all.

Adding Dan and Pavel so they can weigh in too.

You can trim this input file significantly, and by doing so you'll
end up with something that clearly highlights what feature it's
supposed to test:

  <domain type='qemu'>
    <name>QEMUGuest1</name>
    <uuid>c7a5fdbd-edaf-9455-926a-d65c16db1809</uuid>
    <memory unit='KiB'>219100</memory>
    <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu>
    <os>
      <type arch='i686' machine='pc'>hvm</type>
    </os>
    <devices>
      <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-i686</emulator>
      <controller type='usb' model='none'/>
      <serial type='pipe'>
        <source path='/tmp/debugcon'/>
        <target type='isa-serial' port='0'>
          <model name='isa-debugcon'/>
        </target>
        <address type='isa' iobase='0x402'/>
      </serial>
      <memballoon model='none'/>
    </devices>
  </domain>

This is all you need for the purpose of testing isa-debugcon.

So IIUC iobase=0x402 is the de-facto standard for isa-debugcon,
right?

Assuming that's indeed the case, I would expect libvirt to fill in
that value automatically unless the user has provided an iobase
explicitly themselves.

(Incidentally, and pre-existing, but shouldn't something like that
 happen for isa-serial as well?)
