2019-05-29vhost-user: add vhost_user_gpu_set_socket()Marc-André Lureau
Add a new vhost-user message to give a unix socket to a vhost-user backend for GPU display updates. Back when I started that work, I added a new GPU channel because the vhost-user protocol wasn't bidirectional. Since then, there is a vhost-user-slave channel for the slave to send requests to the master. We could extend it with GPU messages. However, the GPU protocol is quite orthogonal to vhost-user, thus I chose to have a new dedicated channel. See vhost-user-gpu.rst for the protocol details.
