The vhost-user & colo code is poking at the QemuOpts instance
in the CharDriverState struct, not realizing that it is valid
for this to be NULL. e.g. the following crash shows a codepath
where it will be NULL:
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Code using chardevs should not be poking at the internals of the
CharDriverState struct. What vhost-user wants is a chardev that is
operating as reconnectable network service, along with the ability
to do FD passing over the connection. The colo code simply wants
a network service. Add a feature concept to the char drivers so
that chardev users can query the actual features they wish to have
supported. The QemuOpts member is removed to prevent future mistakes
in this area.
