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.

With the acceptance of some new APIs to libspice-server.so it
is possible to add support for SPICE to the 'add_client'
monitor command, bringing parity with VNC. Since SPICE can
use TLS or plain connections, the command also gains a new
'tls' parameter to specify whether TLS should be attempted
on the injected client sockets.
This new feature is only enabled if building against a
libspice-server >= 0.10.1
* qmp-commands.hx: Add 'tls' parameter & missing doc for
'skipauth' parameter
* monitor.c: Wire up SPICE for 'add_client' command
* ui/qemu-spice.h, ui/spice-core.c: Add qemu_spice_display_add_client
API to wire up from monitor

Changes in v3:
- Added 'optional' flag to new parameters documented
- Added no-op impl of qemu_spice_display_add_client when
SPICE is disabled during build

Spice client is required to connect to the migration target before/as migration
starts. Since after migration starts, the target qemu is blocked and cannot accept new spice client
we trigger the connection to the target upon client_migrate_info command.
client_migrate_info completion cb will be called after spice client has been
connected to the target (or a timeout). See following patches and spice patches.

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.

Handle spice client migration, i.e. inform a spice client connected
about the new host and connection parameters, so it can move over the
connection automatically.
The monitor command has a not-yet used protocol argument simliar to
set_password and expire_password commands. This allows to add a simliar
feature to vnc in the future. Daniel Berrange plans to work on this.

Add support for the spice audio interface. With this patch applied
audio can be forwarded over the network from/to the spice client. Both
recording and playback is supported.
The driver is first in the driver list, but the can_be_default flag is
set only in case spice is active. So if you have the spice protocol
enabled the spice audio driver is the default one, otherwise whatever
comes first after spice in the list. Overriding the default using
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV works in any case.
[ v2: audio codestyle: add spaces before open parenthesis ]
[ v2: add const to silence array ]

With that patch applied you'll actually see the guests screen in the
spice client. This does *not* bring qxl and full spice support though.
This is basically the qxl vga mode made more generic, so it plays
together with any qemu-emulated gfx card. You can display stdvga or
cirrus via spice client. You can have both vnc and spice enabled and
clients connected at the same time.
Open keyboard channel. Now you can type into the spice client and the
keyboard events are sent to your guest. You'll need some other display
like vnc to actually see the guest responding to them though.
Add -spice command line switch. Has support setting passwd and port for
now. With this patch applied the spice client can successfully connect
to qemu. You can't do anything useful yet though.
