Hi,

  This patch adds three CHR_IOCTLs and uses them in virtserial devices, to be 
used
by a chardev backend, such as a spice vm channel (spice is a vdi solution).

  Basically virtio-serial provides three driver initiated events for guest open 
of
a device, guest close, and guest ready (driver port init complete) that before 
this
patch are not exposed to the chardev backend.

  With the spicevmc backend this is used like this:
qemu -chardev spicevmc,id=vdiport,name=vdiport -device 
virtserialport,chardev=vdiport,name=com.redhat.spice.0

  I'd appreciate any feedback if this seems the right way to accomplish this, 
and
for the numbers I grabbed.

I really hate to add connection semantics via IOCTLs. I would rather we add them as first class semantics to the char device layer. This would allow us to use char devices for VNC, for instance.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

Subject: [PATCH] virtio-console: add IOCTL's for guest_{ready,open,close}

Add three IOCTL corresponding to the three control events of:
  guest_ready ->  CHR_IOCTL_VIRT_SERIAL_READY
  guest_open  ->  CHR_IOCTL_VIRT_SERIAL_OPEN
  guest_close ->  CHR_IOCTL_VIRT_SERIAL_CLOSE

Can be used by a matching backend.
