The commit's purpose is laudable:
The only way for chardev drivers to communicate an error was to
return a NULL pointer, which resulted in an error message that
said _that_ something went wrong, but not _why_.
It attempts to achieve it by changing the interface to return 0/-errno
and update qemu_chr_open_opts() to use strerror() to display a more
helpful error message. Unfortunately, it has serious flaws:
1. Backends "socket" and "udp" return bogus error codes, because
qemu_chr_open_socket() and qemu_chr_open_udp() assume that
unix_listen_opts(), unix_connect_opts(), inet_listen_opts(),
inet_connect_opts() and inet_dgram_opts() fail with errno set
appropriately. That assumption is wrong, and the commit turns
unspecific error messages into misleading error messages. For
instance:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vnc :0 -chardev socket,id=bar,host=xxx
inet_connect: host and/or port not specified
chardev: opening backend "socket" failed: No such file or directory
ENOENT is what happens to be in my errno when the backend returns
-errno. Let's put ERANGE there just for giggles:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vnc :0 -chardev socket,id=bar,host=xxx -drive if=none,iops=99999999999999999999
inet_connect: host and/or port not specified
chardev: opening backend "socket" failed: Numerical result out of range
Worse: when errno happens to be zero, return -errno erroneously
signals success, and qemu_chr_new_from_opts() dies dereferencing
uninitialized chr. I observe this with "-serial unix:".
2. All qemu_chr_open_opts() knows about the error is an errno error
code. That's simply not enough for a decent message. For instance,
when inet_dgram() can't resolve the parameter host, which errno code
should it use? What if it can't resolve parameter localaddr?
Clue: many backends already report errors in their open methods.
Let's revert the flawed commit along with its dependencies, and fix up
the silent error paths instead.

Define a state callback and make that generate chardev open/close events when
called by the spice-server.
Notes:
1) For all but the newest spice-server versions (which have a fix for this)
the code ignores these events for a spicevmc with a subtype of vdagent, this
subtype specific knowledge is undesirable, but unavoidable for now, see:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2011-July/004837.html
2) This code deliberately sends the events immediately rather then from a
bh. This is done this way because:
a) There is no need to do it from a bh; and
b) Doing it from a bh actually causes issues because the spice-server may send
data immediately after the open and when the open runs from a bh, then
qemu_chr_be_can_write will return 0 for the first write which the spice-server
does not expect, when this happens the spice-server will never retry the write
causing communication to stall.

Use the correct printf format string character (%z) for ssize_t.
This fixes a compile failure on 32 bit Linux with spice enabled.

In the old spice-vmc device we used to have:
last_out = virtio_serial_write(&svc->port, p, MIN(len, VMC_MAX_HOST_WRITE));
if (last_out > 0)
...
Now in the chardev backend we have:
last_out = MIN(len, VMC_MAX_HOST_WRITE);
qemu_chr_read(scd->chr, p, last_out);
if (last_out > 0) {
...
Which causes us to no longer detect if the virtio port is not ready
to receive data from us. chardev actually has a mechanism to detect this,
but it requires a separate call to qemu_chr_can_read, before calling
qemu_chr_read (which return void).
This patch uses qemu_chr_can_read to fix the flow control from client to
guest.

Note the vmc_register_interface() in spice_chr_write is left in place
in case someone uses spice-chardev with a frontend which does not have
guest open / close notification.

Adding a chardev backend for spice, where spice determines what
to do with it based on the name attribute given during chardev creation.
For usage by spice vdagent in conjunction with a properly named
virtio-serial device, and future smartcard channel usage.
Example usage:
qemu -device virtio-serial -chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent \
-device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0
v4->v5:
* add tracing events
* fix missing comma
* fix help string to show debug is optional
v3->v4:
* updated commit message
v1->v3 changes: (v2 had a wrong commit message)
* removed spice-qemu-char.h, folded into ui/qemu-spice.h
* removed dead IOCTL code
* removed comment
* removed ifdef CONFIG_SPICE from qemu-config.c and qemu-options.hx help.
