Hello all,
Here is a new iteration of the patch series that implements a
transport for guest and host communications.
I've tested for compatibility (old qemu & new kernel, new qemu & old
kernel, new qemu & new kernel) and it all works fine. To maintain
backward compatibility, the first port to be spawned (port at id 0) is
to be a console port, to be bound to hvc. This keeps new host, old
guest happy.
Christian has tested the console functionality on s390.
Please review and apply,
Amit
