So red_channel_client_get_channel() should be annotated with
G_GNUC_PURE so that the compiler knows about this and can optimize
everywhere by itself?
Thinking more about this patch, even though I hate the {} you have to
add, I'd be ok with

spicevmc_red_channel_release_msg_rcv_buf(RedChannelClient *rcc,
{
    switch (type) {
    case SPICE_MSGC_SPICEVMC_DATA: {
          RedVmcChannel *channel;

          channel = RED_VMC_CHANNEL(red_channel_client_get_channel(rcc));
          /* buffer wasn't pushed to device */
          red_char_device_write_buffer_release(channel->chardev,
          &channel->recv_from_client_buf);
          break;
    }

which improves the reading of the code in my opinion (you know 'channel'
is not going to be used anywhere else).
