I was not aware that all chardev backed devices should be able to use network backend.
Does this mean I can simple extend the DomainChardevSource, add the required options
and there will be no naming conflict?

If so, this would mean there is no need for a breaking change.
If you would be so kind to confirm the above, I will send in a new patch with the 
additional fields.
