The qemu_chr_fe_write method will return -1 on EAGAIN if the
chardev backend write would block. Almost no callers of the
qemu_chr_fe_write() method check the return value, instead
blindly assuming data was successfully sent. In most cases
this will lead to silent data loss on interactive consoles,
but in some cases (eg RNG EGD) it'll just cause corruption
of the protocol being spoken.
We unfortunately can't fix the virtio-console code, due to
a bug in the Linux guest drivers, which would cause the
entire Linux kernel to hang if we delay processing of the
incoming data in any way. Fixing this requires first fixing
the guest driver to not hold spinlocks while writing to the
hvc device backend.

The virtio-console.c file handles both serial consoles
and interactive consoles, since they're backed by the
same device model.
Since serial devices are expected to be reliable and
need to notify the guest when the backend is opened
or closed, the virtio-console.c file wires up support
for chardev events. This affects both serial consoles
and interactive consoles, using a network connection
based chardev backend such as 'socket', but not when
using a PTY based backend or plain 'file' backends.
When the host side is not connected the handle_output()
method in virtio-serial-bus.c will drop any data sent
by the guest, before it even reaches the virtio-console.c
code. This means that if the chardev has a logfile
configured, the data will never get logged.
Consider for example, configuring a x86_64 guest with a
plain UART serial port
-chardev socket,id=charserial1,host=127.0.0.1,port=9001,server,nowait,logfile=console1.log,logappend=on
-device isa-serial,chardev=charserial1,id=serial1
vs a s390 guest which has to use the virtio-console port
-chardev socket,id=charconsole1,host=127.0.0.1,port=9000,server,nowait,logfile=console2.log,logappend=on
-device virtconsole,chardev=charconsole1,id=console1
The isa-serial one gets data written to the log regardless
of whether a client is connected, while the virtioconsole
one only gets data written to the log when a client is
connected.
There is no need for virtio-serial-bus.c to aggressively
drop the data for console devices, as the chardev code is
prefectly capable of discarding the data itself.
So this patch changes virtconsole devices so that they
are always marked as having the host side open. This
ensures that the guest OS will always send any data it
has (Linux virtio-console hvc driver actually ignores
the host open state and sends data regardless, but we
should not rely on that), and also prevents the
virtio-serial-bus code prematurely discarding data.
The behaviour of virtserialport devices is *not* changed,
only virtconsole, because for the former, it is important
that the guest OSknow exactly when the host side is opened
/ closed so it can do any protocol re-negotiation that may
be required.

On FreeBSD polling a master pty while the other end is not connected
with G_IO_OUT only results in an endless wait. This is different from
the Linux behaviour, that returns immediately. In order to demonstrate
this, I have the following example code:
http://xenbits.xen.org/people/royger/test_poll.c
When executed on Linux:
$ ./test_poll
In callback
On FreeBSD instead, the callback never gets called:
$ ./test_poll
So, in order to workaround this, poll the source with G_IO_HUP (which
makes the code behave the same way on both Linux and FreeBSD).

Report such states with a new monitor event.

Commit 0399a3819b (virtio-console: QOM
cast cleanup for VirtConsole) broke virtserialport since it shares
functions and state struct with virtconsole. Let virtconsole inherit
from virtserialport, and use virtserialport type for casting.
Note that virtio-serial-port is the abstract base type in
virtio-serial-bus.c, whereas virtserialport is the user-instantiatable
type in virtio-console.c. Therefore using TYPE_VIRTIO_CONSOLE_SERIAL_PORT.
