Hello

This is the v9 of the patchset. Thank you very much for the
detailed feedback for v8. We appreciate your time. We believe
we have address all the comments for v8 in the current series.
Special thanks to Stefan Hajnoczi.

The v9 has the following changes:
- Communication channel. Qemu side uses blocking call to send
  and receive the message from the remote and cannot progress
  further until the remote side replies. Enhanced the
  communication channel by dropping iothread lock before blocking
  on Qemu end. Use the co-routines on the remote end to avoid
  blocking QMP monitor;
- removed the heartbeat functionality, it will be added later
  in a full extent;
- fixed leaked errors and similar fixes;
- eliminated bytestream passing over the channel;
- The build system had to be changed in order to accomodate the
  latest changes in Qemu to use Kconfig/mason.

To touch upon the history of this project, we posted the
Proof Of Concept patches before the BoF session in 2018.
Subsequently, we posted 8 versions on the qemu-devel mailist.
You can find them by following the links below ([1] - [8]).

implementation of this project:
