[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/8] sockets: add ability to disable DNS resolution for InetSocketAddress

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>]

Add a 'numeric' flag to the InetSocketAddress struct to allow the
caller to indicate that DNS should be skipped for the host/port
fields. This is useful if the caller knows the address is already
numeric and wants to guarantee no (potentially blocking) DNS
lookups are attempted.
