There doesn't seem to be any way to introspect if we support decimal fds
from the command line; is that going to be a problem?
Libvirt needs to know when it can use it, so any suggestions ?
Patch 9/9 modified qemu_chardev_opts; does that change reflect through
query-command-line-options? Not all QemuOpts changes are introspectible
yet, and Markus has been trying to tackle that, but if this particular
one works, we can use that as our witness (after all, if I understand
correctly, the new feature you are adding here is NOT affecting the QMP
usage, but is an enhancement for command-line usage).
