[Qemu-devel] [RFC/ PATCH 3/4] virtio-9p: Add async helper functions

[Gautham R Shenoy]

Add helper functions to enable virtio-9p make use of the generic asynchronous
threading framework for offloading blocking tasks such as making posix calls on
to the asynchronous threads and handle the post_posix_operations() from the
context of the iothread. This frees the vcpu thread to process any other guest
operations while the processing of v9fs_io is in progress.
