[Qemu-block] [RFC PATCH 00/33] Generic background jobs

[Kevin Wolf]

Before we can make x-blockdev-create a background job, we need to
generalise the job infrastructure so that it can be used without any
associated block node.

This series extracts a Job object from the block job infrastructure,
which should contain everything related to jobs that doesn't require the
block layer to be involved.

The split between BlockJob and Job is reasonably complete as of this RFC
(though there are still some rough edges). Missing are mainly:

* Some cleanups. This means mostly TODOs left for functions moved to
  job.c that should become static again, but were still called from
  blockjob.c. At this point, most of these public declarations aren't
  actually necessary any more, or very little is missing to make them
  unnecessary.

* A QMP interface that can be used with non-block job. The existing
  block-job-* QMP commands will tell the user that they don't know the
  job if you pass the ID of a non-block job.

* The actual conversion of x-blockdev-create to Job, as a proof of
  concept that the generalised infrastructure actually works.
