[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/4] monitor: introduce monitor_read_console

[Lei Li]

This patch introduces monitor_read_console(), which will drop
into interactive mode with chardev ringbuf backend, and install
a readline handler. When the handler is invoked, the given data
will be written to ringbuf backend.
