This commit introduces a vhost-user device for SCSI. This is based
on the existing vhost-scsi implementation, but done over vhost-user
instead. It also uses a chardev to connect to the backend. Unlike
vhost-scsi (today), VMs using vhost-user-scsi can be live migrated.

To use it, one must configure Qemu with --enable-vhost-user-scsi and
start Qemu with a command line equivalent to:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
       -chardev socket,id=vus0,path=/tmp/vus.sock \
       -device vhost-user-scsi-pci,chardev=vus0,bus=pci.0,addr=...

A separate commit presents a sample application linked with libiscsi to
provide a backend for vhost-user-scsi.

Instead of adding a new device, have you investigated using vhost-scsi-pci
with a new vhost-user (chardev) option? I managed to do that with
virtio-input/gpu.

fwiw, in  vhost-user-gpu RFC series, I went a step further, and created a
"vhost-user-backend" object, which may not be a great idea, but simplify
some setup:

-object vhost-user-backend,id=vug,cmd="./vhost-user-gpu"
-device virtio-vga,virgl=true,vhost-user=vug

https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-06/msg01013.html

Once I get back to this RFC, I'll try to refine this idea, but feedback is
welcome.
