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.
