The main problem with chardevs is that they are completely asynchronous. 
  So they may not be a good match for your use case.

(In fact, this is a problem for the i2c-over-chardev and especially 
spi-over-chardev ideas I shot out yesterday.  For i2c-over-chardev one 
could add support to clock stretching in QEMU, but SPI is entirely 
synchronous).

Note that -qmp and -qtest both use chardevs internally to connect the 
external program with QEMU.
