Hey Rusty,
This patchset is on top of the previous one.
It sends a SIGIO signal to apps that request signals for host
activity. SIGIO is sent on host connect, disconnect as well as
hot-unplug (which can be seen as a special case of host disconnect).
Tested using several testcases in the test-virtserial repo:
http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=amitshah/public_git/test-virtserial.git
Please apply.
Thanks,
Amit.
