The QEMU driver internal API for interacting with the monitor console takes a 'struct qemud_driver *' parameter. This is a problem because any access to this struct must be protected by a lock, but we do not want to hold the global driver lock for all monitor operations since it would destroy any hope of concurrency. Fortunately tracing down many levels of call reveals this parameter is totally unused, so this patch removes it from a tonne of internal APIs
Okay, seems we're mostly just removing the driver parameter from most calls, rather simple, we're lucky :-) +1 Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
