The vhost-user code is poking at the QemuOpts instance in the CharDriverState struct, not realizing that it is valid for this to be NULL. e.g. the following crash shows a codepath where it will be NULL:

What it wants is a chardev that is operating as a network server, so add an explicit API to allow it to validate this feature condition without looking at chardev internals. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
