I don't think these "mux" chardevs plugged to a "mux-controller"
actually exist, at least today. You can directly plug serial and monitor
to a mux chardev that sits on top of stdio.

Yes, you're right.  There's 2 CharBackends plugged into a single mux 
Chardev.

This is basically what I meant when I said your QOM conversion and my
QAPIfication work aren't conflicting (conceptually), but addressing
separate problems.

Fair enough, I think I understand what you mean now.  And I can't really 
argue with the diffstat and the usage of aliases to clean up dash vs. 
underscores.
