[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] spice-qemu-char: Generate chardev open/close events (v3)

[Hans de Goede]

Define a state callback and make that generate chardev open/close events when
called by the spice-server. Note the code ignores these events for a spicevmc
with a subtypem of vdagent, this subtype specific knowledge is undesirable,
but unavoidable, see:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2011-July/004837.html

Changes in v2:
-Only ignore the state callback for spicevmc chardevs with a subtype of
 vdagent, instead of only allowing them for a subtype of usbredir

Changes in v3:
-This version actually compiles, sorry about that!
