Started with the presentation in October 2017 made by Marc-Andre (Red Hat)
and Konrad Wilk (Oracle) [1], and continued by Jag's BoF at KVM Forum 2018,
the multi-process project is now a prototype and presented in this patchset.

This first series enables the emulation of lsi53c895a in a separate process.

We posted the Proof Of Concept patches [2] before the BoF session in 2018.
Subsequently, we posted RFC v1 [3] & RFC v2 [4] of this series. 

Thanks to the v1 & v2 review, we were able to incorporate the feedback into
our goals.

In the summer of 2019, we participated in a conference with folks at RedHat,
who provided us with feedback to improve the design of this project. 

We want to present version 3 of this series which incorporates the feedback
we received for v2 & the enhancements suggested in the conference. Following
are the improvements made in this series:
  - The command-line arguments are Orchestrator friendly. A new option
    named "-remote" carries the command-line of the emulation process.
    Added "rid" suboption to the "-device" option and moved "-drive"
    option to the emulation process's command-line.
  - Redesigned Monitor interface allows direct access to the remote process,
    thereby making it more scalable, maintainable & Orchestrator friendly.
    We also enabled more monitor commands for the remote process.
  - Enabled the remote process to run multiple LSI controllers
  - Redesigned the communication link to support multiple channels. MMIO
    transactions are carried out in a separate channel.
  - Fixed the bugs discovered during testing. Individual patches provide
    the details of these fixes.

Following people contributed to this patchset:

John G Johnson <john.g.johnson@oracle.com>
Jagannathan Raman <jag.raman@oracle.com>
Elena Ufimtseva <elena.ufimtseva@oracle.com>
Kanth Ghatraju <kanth.ghatraju@oracle.com>

For full concept writeup about QEMU disaggregation refer to
docs/devel/qemu-multiprocess.txt. Please refer to 
docs/qemu-multiprocess.txt for usage information.

We are planning on making the following improvements in the future:
  - Live migration
  - Performance improvements
  - Libvirt support
  - Enforcement of security policies
  - blockdev support

We welcome all your ideas, concerns, and questions for this patchset.

Thank you!
