Since commit d86c876a66e320b55220d00113027c9ad6199cff we are using guestfwd=tcp:IP:PORT,chardev=ID for guestfwd specification, however, that has not changed in qemu, so guestfwd does not work since. Apart from that, guestfwd is not working with older qemu that doesn't have QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE. Both regressions exist since late 2009 and nobody found that (until now), so I'm only fixing the first one.
