Hi, this is the 7th revision of the vfio-user client implementation.
First of all, thank you for your time reviewing the previous versions.
The vfio-user framework consists of 3 parts:
1) The VFIO user protocol specification.
2) A client - the VFIO device in QEMU that encapsulates VFIO messages
and sends them to the server.
3) A server - a remote process that emulates a device.
This patchset implements parts 1 and 2.
It has been tested against libvfio-user test servers as well as SPDK.

Changes from v6->v7:
- removed BQL dropping - caused various different correctness issues
- fixed incorrect list iteration in vfio_user_disconnect()
- fixed short header read check
- marked vbasedev->mdev as true to skip host iommu device setup
