[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 4/6] monitor: check if chardev can switch gcontext for OOB |
Date: |

Not all backends are able to switch gcontext. Those backends cannot
drive a OOB monitor (the monitor would then be blocking on main
thread).
For example, ringbuf, spice, or more esoteric input chardevs like
braille or MUX.
We currently forbid MUX because not all frontends are ready to run
outside main loop. Extend to add a context-switching feature check.
