Hmm, I think that goes into the wrong direction.  Properties should not 
be pointers to internal qemu state.  Yes, there is qemu_prop_ptr, but I 
consider that a temporary stopgap until we can do better.

Instead CharDriverState's should get a name and we need a way to lookup 
them by name.  Then we can store the name instead of a pointer into the 
property.

cheers,
   Gerd
