This reworks my former patch (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/227678/ - sorry Hans, can't find the version you posted) per Gerd's suggestion. Specifically it adds a new qemu_chr_fe_post_load api that is called by the front end and implemented by the backend. virtio-console implements it, adding it's own hook which is called by virtio-serial-bus upon post_load from the timer, so that qemu_chr_fe_post_load is called when the vm is already in the running state. This makes the spice-qemu-char usage very simple by not requiring yet another timer.
