This seems plausible, but I don't understand our option
code very well, and we seem to have a mix of "check for
NULL" and "caller had better not pass NULL" in the various
functions in util/qemu-option.c.
Markus: how is this supposed to work?
In any case something is clearly still busted in the
vhost-user code, because it's expecting to get a non-NULL
opts so it can properly parse the chardev, so that seems
like the thing we really need to fix.
