[PATCH v16 00/20] Initial support for multi-process Qemu

[Jagannathan Raman]

Hi

This is the v16 of the patchset. Thank you for your time reviewing v15.

This version has the following changes:

[PATCH v16 04/20] multi-process: Add config option for multi-process QEMU
  - Using “default_feature” value to enable/disable multiprocess

[PATCH v16 07/20] io: add qio_channel_writev_full_all helper
  - Removed local variable in qio_channel_writev_full_all(), setting arguments
    directly
  - Fixed indentation issues
  - Updated commit message

[PATCH v16 08/20] io: add qio_channel_readv_full_all_eof &
                  qio_channel_readv_full_all helpers
  - Added two variants of readv - _full_all_eof & _full_all based on feedback
  - Dropped errno return value
  - Updated commit message
  - Unable to remove local variables and set arguments directly as the
    arguments are later needed for cleanup (g_free/close) during failure

Switched to using OBJECT_DECLARE_{SIMPLE_TYPE, TYPE} macros in the
following patches:
  - [PATCH v16 05/20] multi-process: setup PCI host bridge for remote device
  - [PATCH v16 06/20] multi-process: setup a machine object for remote device
                      process
  - [PATCH v16 11/20] multi-process: Associate fd of a PCIDevice with its object
  - [PATCH v16 13/20] multi-process: introduce proxy object

Updated copyright text to use the year 2021 in the files that show them.
