Yes, that looks to be a "feature" of the drivers/char/Kconfig file,
which we only parse for configurations that are to work with
hardware-access privileges.

So that probably ties up tty0, but you should still be able to
register xencons as ttyS0 unless you have accidentally included serial
drivers in your kernel config:
 "xencons=ttyS console=ttyS0"
