[RFC 0/2] vhost-user-fs: Stateful migration

[Hanna Czenczek]

Hi,

Patch 1 of this RFC series adds virtio-fs-specific operations to vhost
for transferring a binary blob of back-end-internal state, and
implements those for vhost-user.

Patch 2 uses those operations to implement stateful migration for
vhost-user-fs devices, assuming the back-end (virtiofsd) supports it.

This is an RFC for multiple reasons, most notably:
- Patch 1 proposes yet undiscussed changes to the vhost protocol, which
  makes it RFC by default.
- Without much experience in the fields of migration or vhost (on the
  qemu side), I hope marking this as an RFC leads to extra scrutiny on
  the reviewer’s side. O:)
