Define a state callback and make that generate chardev open/close events when called by the spice-server. Note the code ignores these events for a spicevmc with a subtypem of vdagent, this subtype specific knowledge is undesirable, but unavoidable, see: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2011-July/004837.html
Changes in v2: -Only ignore the state callback for spicevmc chardevs with a subtype of vdagent, instead of only allowing them for a subtype of usbredir Changes in v3: -This version actually compiles, sorry about that!
