Currently all registered (and activate) monitor terminals work in
broadcast mode: Everyone sees what someone else types on some other
terminal and what the monitor reports back. This model is broken when
you have a management monitor terminal that is automatically operated
and some other terminal used for independent guest inspection. Such
additional terminals can be multiplexed device channels or a gdb
frontend connected to QEMU's stub.
Therefore, this patch decouples the buffers and states of all monitor
terminals, allowing the user to operate them independently. It finally
starts to use the 'mon' parameter that was introduced earlier with the
API rework. It also defines the default monitor: the first instantance
that has the MONITOR_IS_DEFAULT flag set, and that is the monitor
created via the "-monitor" command line switch (or "vc" if none is
given).
As the patch requires to rework the monitor suspension interface, it
also takes the freedom to make it "truely" suspending (so far suspending
meant suppressing the prompt, but inputs were still processed).

Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals:
term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services
gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance
the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
reference to monitor output services.
For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
again.
Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
functions that invoke monitor_printf.
At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

Currently, the intermediate input buffer of mux'ed character devices
records data across all sub-devices. This has the side effect that we
easily leak data recorded over one sub-devices to another once we switch
the focus. Avoid data loss and confusion by defining exclusive buffers.
Note: In contrast to the original author's claim, the buffering concept
still breaks down when the fifo of the currently active sub-device is
full. As we cannot accept futher data from this point on without risking
to loose it, we will also miss escape sequences, just like without all
that buffering. In short: There is no reliable escape sequence handling
without infinite buffers or the risk of loosing some data.

Recent changes to the graphical console initialization broke the initial
CHR_EVENT_RESET distribution. The reset BHs generated on char device
initialization are now already consumed during machine init (ide init
... -> qemu_aio_wait -> qemu_bh_poll). Therefore, this patch moves the
initial qemu_chr_reset calls into a separate funtion which is called
after machine init.

The DisplayState refactoring changed the machine init function to create a
DisplayState for each VGA device instead of being passed an existing
DisplayState. This change is critical to enable multiple graphics device
support.
Unfortunately, the serial/parallel/console code is structured today to run
before machine init to fill out the CharDriverState table which the machine
init function uses to determine whether to create the required devices.
Since a 'vc' is a type of CharDriverState, the CharDriverState code requires
that a DisplayState exist before it runs creating a circular dependency.
To fix this, this splits the creation of the initial CharDriverState from
the initialization of the text console. We can then in a second step associate
a DisplayState with all TextConsoles. This allows us to create the
CharDriverState's first, machine init, then associate the TextConsoles with
a DisplayState.
This code screams for more cleanup.

Patch 5/7
This patch changes the graphical_console_init function to return an
allocated DisplayState instead of a QEMUConsole.
This patch contains just the graphical_console_init change and few other
modifications mainly in console.c and vl.c.
It was necessary to move the display frontends (e.g. sdl and vnc)
initialization after machine->init in vl.c.
This patch does *not* include any required changes to any device, these
changes come with the following patches.
Patch 6/7
This patch changes the QEMUMachine init functions not to take a
DisplayState as an argument because is not needed any more;
In few places the graphic hardware initialization function was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now they are always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.
Patch 7/7
This patch updates the graphic device code to use the new
graphical_console_init function.
As for the previous patch, in few places graphical_console_init was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now it is always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.

This switches the tcp, telnet and unix socket support for character
devices (serial/parallel, ...) to the new socket helpers. Thereby they
gain IPv6 support and also get ability to search for a free tcp port.
Syntax is the same as for vnc, using a to= option, like this:
-serial tcp:localhost:5000,to=5099,server
This will check the 5000 -> 5099 port range (inclusive) for a free tcp
port. Likewise you can get auto-allocated unix sockets by specifying an
empty path:
-serial unix:,server
qemu will create a randomly named socket in $TMPDIR then.
tcp also got new "ipv4" and "ipv6" options to make qemu try only the
specified internet protocol version.
You can use the "info chardev" command added by the first patch in this
series to figure the tcp port / unix socket actually allocated.
