It's a commendable job the folks who've put together the tests have done. However, it's still not comprehensive for the chardevs themselves. For example, guest freezes for lack of flow control would've been flagged by autotest otherwise. Though I'm happy to now note that will no longer be an issue on qemu.git, and we must now add tests for checking flow control. Amit
