[PATCH v3 0/3] kvm tools: remove periodic tick

/kvm__arch_read_term/ in patch2's coverletter - make term_poll_thread static - Added Marc's ack Changes since V2: - force the flushing of the tx queue for serial console emulation - test that this doesn't degrade performance considerably Jonathan Austin (3): kvm tools: use #define for maximum number

[PATCH v3 1/3] kvm tools: use #define for maximum number of terminal devices

Though there may be no near-term plans to change the number of terminal devices in the future, using TERM_MAX_DEVS instead of '4' makes reading some of the loops over terminal devices clearer. This patch makes the this substitution where required. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Austin jonathan.aus
