As of bd5c51ee6c, chardevs no longer use
bottom-halves to issue CHR_EVENT_OPENED events. To maintain past
semantics, we instead defer the CHR_EVENT_OPENED events toward the end
of chardev initialization.
For muxes, this isn't good enough, since a range of FEs must be able
to attach to the mux prior to any CHR_EVENT_OPENED being issued, else
each FE will immediately print it's initial output (prompts, banners,
etc.) just prior to us switching to the next FE as part of
initialization.
The is new and confusing behavior for users, as they'll see output for
things like the HMP monitor, even though their the current mux focus
may be a guest serial port with potentially no output.
We fix this by further deferring CHR_EVENT_OPENED events for FEs
associated with muxes until after machine init by flagging mux chardevs
with 'explicit_be_open', which suppresses emission of CHR_EVENT_OPENED
events until we explicitly set the mux as opened later.
Currently, we must defer till after machine init since we potentially
associate FEs with muxes as part of realize (for instance,
serial_isa_realizefn).
