[PATCH 0/5 REVIEW ONLY] Implement attach-method to attach to existing daemons
I've only done limited testing, but it does let you connect to an existing guestfsd running inside a guest, over virtio-serial. This is not ready to be applied. One thing I've not thought about is how well this fits in with plans to use this mechanism as an alternate way to launch the appliance via libvirt.

Supports shell scripting, bindings from many languages. http://libguestfs.org
This is a good general patch -- we should apply it anyway regardless of the rest. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines. Supports shell scripting, bindings from many languages. http://libguestfs.org

In fact this passed the test suite and some manual testing of my own so I have pushed it to git.

When guestfsd is free running, it needs to be invoked with this '-r' option so that it operates on the root directory, not on a /sysroot directory.
