The series contains an implement of a vfio-user client in QEMU, along with a few
more preparatory patches.
The vfio-user protocol allows for implementing (PCI) devices in another
userspace process; SPDK is one example, which includes a virtual NVMe
implementation.
The vfio-user framework consists of 3 parts:
1) The VFIO user protocol specification.
2) A client - the VFIO device in QEMU that encapsulates VFIO messages
and sends them to the server.
3) A server - a remote process that emulates a device.
This patchset implements parts 1 and 2.
It has been tested against libvfio-user test servers as well as SPDK.
A previous version of this series can be found at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/7dd34008-e0f1-4eed-a77e-55b1f68fb...@redhat.com/T/
(I've reset the version as it has changed significantly.)
