Overview:
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
