If you prefer that the #ifdef USE_SMARTCARD filtering is done in
spice_server_set_channel_security(), just say so..

You are stretching what I said quite a bit ;) All I'm saying is that it
should not be called with an invalid channel type, or a warning is going
to be shown. This is no different than having a method starting with
g_return_if_fail(RED_IS_CHANNEL_CLIENT(client));
I can add a comment saying that you should not pass random values to
that function if you want to keep stderr clean if you want.
