[PATCH v4 0/4] Introduce 'yank' oob qmp command to recover from hanging qemu

[Lukas Straub]

Hello Everyone,
In many cases, if qemu has a network connection (qmp, migration, chardev, etc.)
to some other server and that server dies or hangs, qemu hangs too.
These patches introduce the new 'yank' out-of-band qmp command to recover from
these kinds of hangs. The different subsystems register callbacks which get
executed with the yank command. For example the callback can shutdown() a
socket. This is intended for the colo use-case, but it can be used for other
things too of course.

Regards,
Lukas Straub

v4:
 -fix build errors...

v3:
 -don't touch softmmu/vl.c, use __contructor__ attribute instead (Paolo Bonzini)
 -fix build errors
 -rewrite migration patch so it actually passes all tests

v2:
 -don't touch io/ code anymore
 -always register yank functions
 -'yank' now takes a list of instances to yank
 -'query-yank' returns a list of yankable instances
