[dts] [PATCH v1 00/16] Support parallel multiple virtual machine management

[Marvin Liu]

This series of patches will support parallel multiple virtual machine
management function. Qemu default initialzation process will be enhanced
for parallel start. With new model, efficiency for VMs management can be
significantly improved.

In my environment, test suite can start and control 2 * 63 VMs in two
minutes with this new module.
