This commit introduces a new vhost-user device for block, it uses a chardev to connect with the backend, same with Qemu virito-blk device, Guest OS still uses the virtio-blk frontend driver. To use it, start QEMU with command line like this: qemu-system-x86_64 \ -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/path/vhost.socket \ -device vhost-user-blk-pci,chardev=char0,num-queues=2, \ bootindex=2... \ Users can use different parameters for `num-queues` and `bootindex`. Different with exist Qemu virtio-blk host device, it makes more easy for users to implement their own I/O processing logic, such as all user space I/O stack against hardware block device. It uses the new vhost messages(VHOST_USER_GET_CONFIG) to get block virtio config information from backend process.
