char_device: Introducing shared flow control code for char devices.
SpiceCharDeviceState manages the (1) write-to-device queue (2) wakeup and reading from the device (3) client tokens (4) sending messages from the device to the client/s, considering the available tokens. SpiceCharDeviceState can be also stopped and started. When the device is stopped, no reading or writing is done from/to the device. Messages addressed from the client to the device are being queued. Later, an api for stop/start will be added to spice.h and it should be called from qemu. This patch does not yet remove the wakeup callback from SpiceCharDeviceState, but once all the char devices (agent/spicevmc/smartcard) code will switch to the new implementation, SpiceCharDeviceState will be moved to the c file and its reference to the wakeup callback will be removed.

+/*
+ * Shared code for char devices, mainly for flow control.
+ *
+ * How to use the api:
+ * ==================
+ * device attached: call spice_char_device_state_create
+ * device detached: call spice_char_device_state_destroy/reset
+ *
+ * client connected and assoicated with a device: spice_char_device_client_add
+ * client disconnected: spice_char_device_client_remove
+ *
+ * Writing to the device
+ * ---------------------
+ * Write the data into SpiceCharDeviceWriteBuffer:
+ * call spice_char_device_write_buffer_get in order to get an appropriate buffer.
+ * call spice_char_device_write_buffer_add in order to push the buffer to the write queue.
+ * If you choose not to push the buffer to the device, call
+ * spice_char_device_write_buffer_release
+ *
+ * reading from the device
+ * -----------------------
+ * The callback read_one_msg_from_device (see below) should be implemented
+ * (using sif->read).
+ * When the device is ready, this callback is called, and is expected to
+ * return one message which is addressed to the client, or NULL if the read
+ * hasn't completed.
+ *
+ * calls triggered from the device (qemu):
+ * --------------------------------------
+ * spice_char_device_start
+ * spice_char_device_stop
+ * spice_char_device_wakeup (for reading from the device)
+ */
+
+/*
+ * Note about multiple-clients:
+ * Multiclients are currently not supported in any of the character devices:
+ * spicevmc does not allow more than one client (and at least for usb, it should stay this way).
+ * smartcard code is not compatible with more than one reader.
+ * The server and guest agent code doesn't distinguish messages from different clients.
+ * In addition, its current flow control code (e.g., tokens handling) is wrong and doesn't
+ * take into account the different clients.
+ *
+ * Nonetheless, the following code introduces some support for multiple-clients:
+ * We track the number of tokens for all the clients, and we read from the device
+ * if one of the clients have enough tokens. For the clients that don't have tokens,
+ * we queue the messages, till they receive tokens, or till a timeout.
+ *
+ * TODO:
+ * At least for the agent, not all the messages from the device will be directed to all
+ * the clients (e.g., copy from guest to a specific client). Thus, support for
+ * client-specific-messages should be added.
+ * In addition, we should have support for clients that are being connected
+ * in the middle of a message transfer from the agent to the clients.
