Besides qemu_chr_write() returning meaningful errors, it would be nice to have less harsh error handing in do_flush_queued_data(), wouldn't it? Short of that, we can either suppress real write errors, or turn a perfectly normal condition into an error. This patch does the latter, because it's a much lesser evil.
