[Qemu-devel] [RFC Patch 1/3] chardev: add new socket fd parameter for unix socket

[Wei Xu]

There has been comments on this patch, but i forgot adding this patch to 
the list, just forward it again.

When manage VMs via libvirt, qemu ofter runs with limited permission,
thus qemu can't create a file/socket, this patch is to  add a new
parameter 'sockfd' to accept fd opened and passed in from libvirt.
