Public bug reported:

SRU Justification:

Impact: Qemu mach-virt requires VIRTIO_CONSOLE=y as is the only
available console option there, and having it as =m doesn't let you see
the boot messages until initrd is mounted

Fix: apply the attached config patch and recompile a kernel

Testcase:

try booting a qemu mach-virt instance with and without a patched kernel

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
