[RFC PATCH v4 0/2] virtio-vsock: introduce SOCK_SEQPACKET description
This adds description of SOCK_SEQPACKET type for virtio-vsock.
Basic idea is to add special ops along with VIRITIO_VSOCK_OP_RW,
which mark begin and end of each message. So two new operations
were added: VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_SEQ_BEGIN and VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_SEQ_END.
Both have special payload, which provides length and id of message,
to check integrity of every message by receiver.

Here is latest RFC implementation for Linux, with more details:

Also this patchset has patch which replaces enums to defines in
virtio-vsock part of spec. SOCK_SEQPACKET patch is based on it.
