2018-01-18vhost-user: add new vhost user messages to support virtio config spaceChangpeng Liu
Add VHOST_USER_GET_CONFIG/VHOST_USER_SET_CONFIG messages which can be used for live migration of vhost user devices, also vhost user devices can benefit from the messages to get/set virtio config space from/to the I/O target. For the purpose to support virtio config space change, VHOST_USER_SLAVE_CONFIG_CHANGE_MSG message is added as the event notifier in case virtio config space change in the slave I/O target.

2017-12-22vhost-user: document memory accessesStefan Hajnoczi
The vhost-user protocol specification does not define "guest address" and "user address". It does not explain how to access memory given such addresses. This patch explains how memory access works, including the IOTLB. Cc: Michael S.

2017-08-02vhost-user: fix legacy cross-endian configurationsFelipe Franciosi
Currently, vhost-user does not implement any means for notifying the backend about guest endianess. This commit introduces a new message called VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENDIAN which is analogous to the ioctl() called VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN used for kernel vhost backends. Such message is necessary for backends supporting legacy (pre-1.0) virtio devices running in big-endian guests.
