2016-12-16contrib: add libvhost-userMarc-André Lureau3-0/+1935
Add a library to help implementing vhost-user backend (or slave). Dealing with vhost-user as an application developer isn't so easy: you have all the trouble with any protocol: validation, unix ancillary data, shared memory, eventfd, logging, and on top of that you need to deal with virtio queues, if possible efficiently. qemu test has a nice vhost-user testing application vhost-user-bridge, which implements most of vhost-user, and virtio.c which implements virtqueues manipulation. Based on these two, I tried to make a simple library, reusable for tests or development of new vhost-user scenarios.
