[RFC v3 00/19] vfio-user client

[John Johnson]

Hello,

This is the 3rd revision of the vfio-user client implementation.

First of all, thank you for your time reviewing the previous versions.

The vfio-user framework consists of 3 parts:
 1) The VFIO user protocol specification.
 2) A client - the VFIO device in QEMU that encapsulates VFIO messages
    and sends them to the server.
 3) A server - a remote process that emulates a device.

This patchset implements parts 1 and 2.

The libvfio-user project (https://github.com/nutanix/libvfio-user)
can be used by a remote process to handle the protocol to implement the
third part.
We also worked on implementing a server with QEMU that is a separate
patch series.

Thanos Makatos (1):
  vfio-user: introduce vfio-user protocol specification
    Spec specifies host endiannes instead of always LE
