It caches the gcontext that is used to poll the chardev IO. Before this patch, we only passed it in via chr_update_read_handlers(). However that may not be enough if the char backend is disconnected and reconnected afterward. There are chardev codes that still assumed the context be NULL (which is the main context). Will fix that up in following up patches.
