H A DMakefile7b2e5c65 Tue Oct 18 04:24:04 CDT 2016 Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> contrib: add libvhost-user

Add a library to help implementing vhost-user backend (or slave).

Dealing with vhost-user as an application developer isn't so easy: you
have all the trouble with any protocol: validation, unix ancillary data,
shared memory, eventfd, logging, and on top of that you need to deal
with virtio queues, if possible efficiently.

qemu test has a nice vhost-user testing application vhost-user-bridge,
which implements most of vhost-user, and virtio.c which implements
virtqueues manipulation. Based on these two, I tried to make a simple
library, reusable for tests or development of new vhost-user scenarios.
