[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0 of 7] [UPDATE] DisplayState interface change

[Stefano Stabellini]

Hi all,
this is the third update of the "DisplayState interface change" series.

The series is now of made of 7 patches:

1) accessors again
some other substitutions in hw/sm501.c;

2) remove bgr
the new DisplayState interface does not contain any host specific
display detail, it is an abstraction of the backend display, hence we
don't need to memorize the bgr flag in DisplayState.
The frontend must be able to handle a bgr display by itself, in fact sdl
is perfectly capable of that;

3) DisplayState interface change
this is the big patch that actually changes the interface;

4) vnc improvements
this patch introduces DisplaySurfaces in vnc, simplifying the code.

5) graphical_console_init change
this is the patch that changes the graphical_console_init function
to return an allocated DisplayState instead of a QEMUConsole, as Anthony
suggested.
This patch does *not* include any required changes to any devices, these
changes come with the two following patches.

6) machine changes
this patch changes the QEMUMachine init functions of all the machine types
not to take a DisplayState as an argument because is not needed any
more;

7) graphic device changes
this patch updates the graphic device code to use the new
graphical_console_init function.

Patch number 5 requires also 6 and 7 to compile.

More comments on single patches.

Cheers,

Stefano
