[libvirt] [PATCH v1 00/19] Implementation of QEMU vhost-scsi

This patch series provides a libvirt implementation of the vhost-scsi
interface in QEMU.  As near as I can see, this was discussed upstream in
July 2014[1], and ended in a desire to replace a vhost-scsi controller
in favor of a hostdev element instead[2].

There is no capability check in this series for vhost-scsi in the underlying
QEMU.  Using a recent QEMU built with --disable-vhost-scsi fails with "not a
valid device model name."

Host Filesystem Example:
  # ls /sys/kernel/config/target/vhost/
  discovery_auth  naa.5001405df3e54061  version
  # ls /sys/kernel/config/target/vhost/naa.5001405df3e54061/tpgt_1/lun/
  lun_0

QEMU Example (snippet):
  -device vhost-scsi-ccw,wwpn=naa.5001405df3e54061,devno=fe.0.1000

Libvirt Example (snippet):
  <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
    <source protocol='vhost' wwpn='naa.5001405df3e54061'/>
    <address type='ccw' cssid='0xfe' ssid='0x0' devno='0x1000'/>
  </hostdev>
