I am afraid I have moved on and don't have the machine in front of
me anymore. The situation was that a guest needed to provide
a serial port to Windows, but the serial port was on another machine
than the host (using ser2net).
In the end, I was forced to add the following to the libvirt domain
XML:
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-serial'/>
<qemu:arg value='tcp:wall:2000'/>
</qemu:commandline>
because everything else didn't work.
I just tried this all again with Sid's kvm/libvirt and adding
a serial port with a TCP backend does seem to work, so we can close
the bug report…
<serial type='tcp'>
<source mode='connect' host='wall' service='2000'/>
<protocol type='raw'/>
<target port='0'/>
</serial>
<console type='tcp'>
<source mode='connect' host='wall' service='2000'/>
<protocol type='raw'/>
<target type='serial' port='0'/>
</console>
yields:
-chardev socket,id=charserial0,host=wall,port=2000 -device
isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0
