I have some longer term plans to add minimal virtio-pci support to
kvm-unit-tests, and then we could plug virtio-serial+chr-testdev into
that. I didn't think I could use virtio-mmio directly with spapr, but
maybe I can? Actually, I sort of like this approach more in some
respects though, as it doesn't require a special testdev or virtio
support, keeping the unit test extra minimal. In fact, I was even
thinking about posting patches (which I've already written) that
allow chr-testdev to be optional for ARM too, now that it could use
the exitcode snooper.

Thanks,
