I stopped here, haven't read the rest of the patch but the above comment
seems to become inconsistent. Which is the front end and back end now?
It's the "frontend side" of a chardev "backend". Naming it CharBackend has always been the source of confusion, since the actual backend is Chardev. There was earlier attempt to rename it and various complains. I believe this is is long overdue.
