I tried the virtio-serial pieces with qemu.git and a RHEL6 guest.  The
guest was able to see the "com.redhat.spice.0" port.  This suggests the
problem was either fixed since QEMU 0.15 or that it only affects the
Windows virtio drivers.

I suggest trying qemu-kvm 1.0 or qemu-kvm.git because the issue may have
been fixed since 0.15.

If the issue is still present, you could use git-bisect(1) to find the
commit that caused behavior to change between 0.14 and 0.15.
