This driver handles in-memory chardev operations. That's, all writes to this driver are stored in an internal buffer and it doesn't talk to the external world in any way.
Right now it's very simple: it supports only writes. But it can be easily extended to support more operations. This is going to be used by the monitor's "HMP passthrough via QMP" feature, which needs to run monitor handlers without a backing device.
