Hello Everyone,
I finally found time again to work on this, so here is v9 with the new qmp api.
We still need ACKs from NBD and chardev maintainers.

Changes:

v9:
 -rebase onto master
 -implemented new qmp api as proposed by Markus

v8:
 -add Reviewed-by and Acked-by tags
 -rebase onto master
  -minor change to migration
  -convert to meson
 -change "Since:" to 5.2
 -varios code style fixes (Markus Armbruster)
 -point to oob restrictions in comment to yank_register_function
  (Markus Armbruster)
 -improve qmp documentation (Markus Armbruster)
 -document oob suitability of qio_channel and io_shutdown (Markus Armbruster)

v7:
 -yank_register_instance now returns error via Error **errp instead of aborting
 -dropped "chardev/char.c: Check for duplicate id before  creating chardev"

v6:
 -add Reviewed-by and Acked-by tags
 -rebase on master
 -lots of changes in nbd due to rebase
 -only take maintainership of util/yank.c and include/qemu/yank.h (Daniel P. Berrangé)
 -fix a crash discovered by the newly added chardev test
 -fix the test itself

v5:
 -move yank.c to util/
 -move yank.h to include/qemu/
 -add license to yank.h
 -use const char*
 -nbd: use atomic_store_release and atomic_load_aqcuire
 -io-channel: ensure thread-safety and document it
 -add myself as maintainer for yank

v4:
 -fix build errors...

v3:
 -don't touch softmmu/vl.c, use __contructor__ attribute instead (Paolo Bonzini)
 -fix build errors
 -rewrite migration patch so it actually passes all tests

v2:
 -don't touch io/ code anymore
 -always register yank functions
 -'yank' now takes a list of instances to yank
 -'query-yank' returns a list of yankable instances

Overview:
Hello Everyone,
In many cases, if qemu has a network connection (qmp, migration, chardev, etc.)
to some other server and that server dies or hangs, qemu hangs too.
These patches introduce the new 'yank' out-of-band qmp command to recover from
these kinds of hangs. The different subsystems register callbacks which get
executed with the yank command. For example the callback can shutdown() a
socket. This is intended for the colo use-case, but it can be used for other
things too of course.

Regards,
Lukas Straub
