  rewrite iov_send_recv() and move it to iov.c (2012-06-07 21:22:54 +0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Tokarev (11):
      virtio-serial-bus: use correct lengths in control_out() message
      change iov_* function prototypes to be more appropriate
      rewrite iov_* functions
      consolidate qemu_iovec_memset{,_skip}() into single function and use existing iov_memset()
      allow qemu_iovec_from_buffer() to specify offset from which to start copying
      consolidate qemu_iovec_copy() and qemu_iovec_concat() and make them consistent
      change qemu_iovec_to_buf() to match other to,from_buf functions
      rename qemu_sendv to iov_send, change proto and move declarations to iov.h
      export iov_send_recv() and use it in iov_send() and iov_recv()
      cleanup qemu_co_sendv(), qemu_co_recvv() and friends
      rewrite iov_send_recv() and move it to iov.c

This is the same patchset which has been submitted, resubmitted,
rewritten, resubmitted, split, resubmitted, merged, rewritten again,
resubmitted and finally received a promise from Anthony to be looked
at.  Today, months later, I'm still awaiiting for the answer, and,
while I said before that the last resubmission was, well, last,
since I bothered so many people so many times, I decided to break
my promise, rebase against current qemy/master and resend it,
now as a git pull request, to not mailbomb people again.  The rebase
took quite some work again, since the code changed (obviously) since
the patchset was ready before.  During rebase I reviewed all the
commit messages too, and removed all the Cc lines they had.

As far as I remember, all comments about the patchset has been
addressed or answered, the last event was the above mentioned
promise.

I ensured that each commit in the series compiles and works (this
time I didn't perform extensive tests as before, just very basic
tests), so it is bisectable as before.

The description for the patchset is the same as before, can be found
at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/142079 .
New diffstat is below.

The patchest can be browsed online at

Please pull.
