2015-12-18io: add abstract QIOChannel classesDaniel P. Berrange
Start the new generic I/O channel framework by defining a QIOChannel abstract base class. This is designed to feel similar to GLib's GIOChannel, but with the addition of support for using iovecs, qemu error reporting, file descriptor passing, coroutine integration and use of the QOM framework for easier sub-classing. The intention is that anywhere in QEMU that almost anywhere that deals with sockets will use this new I/O infrastructure, so that it becomes trivial to then layer in support for TLS encryption. This will at least include the VNC server, char device backend and migration code. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
