RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Virt-manager on RHEL7 doesn't hide udp and pipe serial devices

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9.4-4.el7.noarch
libvirt-1.0.2-1.el7.x86_64

Reproduce steps:
1. Start virt-manager
2. Create a machine
3. Edit virtual machine details->Add hardware->Serial

Actual results:
1. virt-manager displayed pipe and udb devices

Expected results:
1. These options should be hidden, since according to bug 740775, pipe and udp serial devices are no longer supported

Additional info:
Checked the code of virt-manager,it disabled these devices on rhel6 by fixing bug 740775.
+rhel6_blacklist = ["pipe", "udp"]

for t in VirtualCharDevice.char_types_for_dev_type[dev_type]:
+ if (t in rhel6_blacklist and
+ not self.vm.rhel6_defaults()):
+ continue

Retested this bug with:
virt-manager-0.10.0-0.5.gitde1695b2.el7.noarch

virt-manager has hiden pipe and udp in serial devices,so move the bug to VERIFIED.

Bigger cleanup needs to be done due to other changes.  Unfortunately, there are few misunderstanding in this part of the code (a bit messy), but this should be taken care of in 7.0 and not left till later.   I'm reassigning it back to myself and I'll start on the cleanup ASAP.

Reproduced steps: 
# rpm -qa virt-manager
virt-manager-0.10.0-12.el7.noarch

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the virtual hareware details tab-> Add Hardware->Serial->Device Type-> udp and pipe are there


Verified steps:
# rpm -qa virt-manager
virt-manager-0.10.0-13.el7.noarch

Steps: 
1. Open the virtual hareware details tab-> Add Hardware->Serial->Device Type-> udp and pipe are not in the list
