[RFC 0/3] QEMU as IPMI BMC emulator |

This series briefly documents the existing IPMI device support for main
processor emulation, and goes on to propose a similar device structure to
emulate IPMI responder devices in BMC machines. This would allow a qemu
instance running BMC firmware to serve as an external BMC for a qemu instance
running server software.
RFC only at this point because the series does not include actual code to
implement this. I'd appreciate some initial feedback on
1. Whether anyone else is interested in something like this.
2. Completeness (i.e. anything that could be explained in more detail in the
docs).
3. Naming, and whether 'specs' is the right place to put this.
4. Whether it's OK to enable the blockdiag sphinx extension (if not, I'll just
toss the block diagrams and turn the docs into walls of text).
If this seems reasonable, I'll start working with one of my team mates on
implementing the common part, as well as the Nuvoton-specific responder device.
Possibly also an Aspeed device.
