The current character device syntax uses either
-serial tty,path=/dev/ttyS2
Or
-chardev tty,id=serial0,path=/dev/ttyS2 -serial chardev:serial0
With the new -device support, we now prefer
-chardev file,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial.log -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0
This patch changes the existing -chardev syntax to use this new scheme, and fallbacks to the old plain -serial syntax for old QEMU.
The monitor device changes to
-chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/tmp/test-monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor
In addition, this patch adds --nodefaults, which kills off the default serial, parallel, vga and nic devices. THis avoids the need for us to explicitly turn each off
