Create a vhost-user-backend object that holds a connection to a
vhost-user backend (or "slave" process) and can be referenced from
virtio devices that support it. See later patches for input & gpu
usage.
Note: a previous iteration of this object made it user-creatable, and
allowed managed sub-process spawning, but that has been dropped for
now.

vhost-user does not depend on Linux; it can run on any POSIX system. Restrict
vhost-kernel to Linux in hw/virtio/vhost-backend.c, everything else can be
compiled on all POSIX systems.

Before this change, memory-backend-file object is valid for Linux hosts
only because hostmem-file.c is compiled only on Linux hosts.
However, other POSIX-based hosts (such as macOS) can support
memory-backend-file object in the same way as on Linux hosts.
This patch makes hostmem-file.c and related functions to be compiled on
all POSIX-based hosts to make available memory-backend-file on them.

Add a new memory backend, similar to hostmem-file, except that it
doesn't need to create files. It also enforces memory sealing.
This backend is mainly useful for sharing the memory with other
processes.
Note that Linux supports transparent huge-pages of shmem/memfd memory
since 4.8. It is relatively easier to set up THP than a dedicate
hugepage mount point by using "madvise" in
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled.
Since 4.14, memfd allows to set hugetlb requirement explicitly.
Pending for merge in 4.16 is memfd sealing support for hugetlb backed
memory.
Usage:
-object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem1,size=1G

chr-testdev enables a virtio serial channel to be used for guest
initiated qemu exits. hw/misc/debugexit already enables guest
initiated qemu exits, but only for PC targets. chr-testdev supports
any virtio-capable target. kvm-unit-tests/arm is already making use
of this backend.
Currently there is a single command implemented, "q". It takes a
(prefix) argument for the exit code, thus an exit is implemented by
writing, e.g. "1q", to the virtio-serial port.
It can be used as:
$QEMU ... \
-device virtio-serial-device \
-device virtserialport,chardev=ctd -chardev testdev,id=ctd
or, use:
$QEMU ... \
-device virtio-serial-device \
-device virtconsole,chardev=ctd -chardev testdev,id=ctd
to bind it to virtio-serial port0.

Provides framework for splitting host RAM allocation/

by devices.
Initially only legacy RAM backend is provided, which
uses memory_region_init_ram() allocator and compatible
with every CLI option that affects memory_region_init_ram().

This backend talks EGD to a CharDriverState. A typical way to invoke this would
be:

The filename can be overridden but it expects a non-blocking source of entropy.
A typical invocation would be:
qemu -object rng-random,id=rng0 -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0
This can also be used with /dev/urandom by using the command line:
qemu -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \
-device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0
