I was wrong about the default of the name attribute to the
virtserialport and when providing it the virtio-ports symlink is created
as expected in my direct qemu test. My original problem was that
libguestfs-test-tool doesn't work with this udev version and that is
still the case even though it calls qemu with a name correctly.
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-global virtio-blk-pci.scsi=off \
-nodefconfig \
-nodefaults \
-nographic \
-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi \
-drive

-device scsi-hd,drive=hd0 \
-drive

-device virtserialport,chardev=channel0,name=org.libguestfs.channel.0 \
-kernel /var/tmp/.guestfs-0/kernel.3806 \
-initrd /var/tmp/.guestfs-0/initrd.3806 \
-append 'panic=1 console=ttyS0 udevtimeout=600 no_timer_check acpi=off
printk.time=1 cgroup_disable=memory root=/dev/sdb selinux=0 guestfs_verbose=1
TERM=xterm
I'm not sure why it still fails with
/dev/virtio-ports/org.libguestfs.channel.0: No such file or directory
but it would seem to be an issue with libguestfs-tools possibly and not
udev. Sorry for the misleading report.
