[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3.1] libxl: Design of an async API to issue QMP commands to QEMU



All the functions will be implemented in later patches.

Signed-off-by: Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@xxxxxxxxxx>

What do you think of this design? This is the same as in my patch series
with new names (to avoid confusion with libxl___ev_*) and documentation.

I'll write something as well for the internal of the engine (the QMP
client itself).
