I'd like to get this settled now, because I'd like to tidy it up for the next qemu cycle. For reference it's based on qemu's livhost-user+chunks of libfuse. It can't live in libfuse because we change enough of the library to break their ABI. It's C, and we've got ~100 patches - which we can split into about 3 chunks. Some suggestions so far: a) In contrib This is my current working assumption; the main objection is it's a bit big and pulls in a chunk of libfuse. b) In a submodule c) Just separate Your suggestions/ideas please. My preference is (a). Dave -- Dr. David Alan Gilbert / dgilbert@redhat.com / Manchester, UK
