[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v1 00/14]: Initial QObject conversion

[Luiz Capitulino]

 Hi there,

 This series is an updated version of my initial QObject conversion series,
which adds the needed infrastructure to incrementally support new style
QObject handlers without breaking the current ones.

 Some people have suggested that we should have a better error handling
in the Monitor, in the meaning that error information should be correctly
propagated and handled in order to be used by the Monitor Protocol and
the existing user protocol.

 This series introduces the MonitorError data type to solve that problem,
it's used as part of the new infrastructure.

 Additionally the following handlers are converted: do_quit(), do_stop(),
do_system_reset(), do_system_powerdown(), do_balloon(), do_info_version(),
do_info_balloon().

 I've done a full build of QEMU with this series applied on Fedora 11 x86_64
and Debian Lenny i386, also tested manually all converted commands plus some
easy ones.

 Please, review this carefully as some design decisions made here will
have impact in the Monitor Protocol.

Changelog:

V0 -> V1:

- Introduced MonitorError
- More handlers converted
- Improved patches descriptions
- Minor changes
