[Spice-devel] [PATCH 0/7] Series of patches to add non-Linux server support

[Dan McGee]

This is a set of patches to enable building the server library on a non-Linux,
non-pure-GNU toolchain platform. The patches range from build system tweaks to
code changes.

Add configure-time check for -Wl,--version-script option
    This is a GNU-specific linker option, or at least one not universally
    supported. It is interesting to note that the Solaris linker does have an
    '-M' option that seems to take the same format file; however, this patch
    merely worries about use of the original option.

red_worker: rename epoll_timeout to event_timeout
Cleanup definitions of disconnect methods
Use memcpy call in red_channel_create
    These three patches are primarily to make the next patch as small and
    graspable as possible.

red_worker: reimplement event loop using poll()
    This is the primary patch in this series. More comments are in the patch
    notes itself.

Respect IOV_MAX if defined
Use standard IOV_MAX definition where applicable
    This is interesting- here we had a case of coding to the implementation and
    not the specification. I beefed up the stream_writev_cb() stub before
    realizing there were no fewer than 3 different constants dealing with IO
    vector length. So in reality, the actual problem is fixed with either
    patch, but I think it would be best to get them both in.


Questions/comments/feedback appreciated! This patch series has been both
:ompile and run-tested at this point on Linux and Solaris.
