The first patch is a straightforward bug fix. The rest fix code to match documentation. The patches take pains to preserve command-line, HMP and QMP bug-compatibility. I'm not sure that's actually needed, because:
* All: the documented way to use the driver never worked in any released version, and the way that worked was undocumented. * QMP: I doubt anyone used chardev-add / chardev-remove in anger, because serious use surely would've run into the "qemu-char: Fix ID reuse after chardev-remove for qapi-based init" bug. I include the compatibility gunk anyway, so we can have a more informed discussion.
