EPIPE is not a recoverable error, so retrying on serial_xmit is a waste of CPU
cycles, and can potentially comprosie the Guest OS stability if both the vCPU
and the emulator thread are pinned to the same pCPU, with the first one
actively polling the serial device and barely giving time to the second to make
any actual progress.
Sergio Lopez (3):
io: Implement QIO_CHANNEL_ERR_BROKEN
chardev: On QIO_CHANNEL_ERR_BROKEN set errno to EPIPE
hw/char/serial: Don't retry on serial_xmit if errno == EPIPE
