Oh sorry, spoke too soon - I noticed mingw issues, and in fact Daniel noticed them too.
Pls address and repost the series. Thanks!

This driver is supposed to test the full feature without other software(Ex vhost process) and hardware dependence. ecdsa is introduced into qapi type without implementation, this may be implemented in Q3-2022 or later. If ecdsa type definition should be added with the implementation together, I'll remove this in next version.
