Yes, that makes more sense for this patch standalone, but I felt it
would be a bit weird to add the conditionality here only to delete it
in the subsequent patch. I don't feel strongly about it.

The IDs are defined by the DBG2 specification, so it felt more
natural to encapsulate it here. However, a comment to that effect
would be useful. Or would you still prefer
ACPI_EARLYCON_DECLARE(0, uart8250)
ACPI_EARLYCON_DECLARE(1, uart8250)
...
?

space_id? bit width?
DBG2 is for quite primitive debug ports, already initialised by
formware (or other pre-kernel agent).

Because "arch" comes before "drivers" in kernel image link order.

Yes, not the best argument ever.
