*
* - Use QOM to properly support arbitrary subclassing
* - Support use of iovecs for efficient I/O with multiple blocks
* - None of the character set translation, binary data exclusively
* - Direct support for QEMU Error object reporting
* - File descriptor passing
*
* This base class is abstract so cannot be instantiated. There
* will be subclasses for dealing with sockets, files, and higher
* level protocols such as TLS, WebSocket, etc.
