Handle data coming in over the channel as VPPackets: Process control
messages and forward data from remote client/server connections to the
appropriate server/client FD on our end.

Try to get rid of these forward declarations.  If you really need them,
consider adding a virtproxy-internal.h.

Looks like you have a little work TODO here still.  Perhaps you could
add some reset/init functions that would make handling this easier.  The
ability to reset state at both the channel and VPConn levels should give
you the ability to handle errors more gracefully in other places where
you currently just log them.

Can drv->buflen ever be > sizeof(VPPacket) ?  You might consider adding
an assert(drv->buflen < sizeof(VPPacket)) unless it's mathematically
impossible.

With this algorithm you can hold some data hostage indefinitely.  You
either need to send out smaller packets of whatever data you receive or
maybe have a timer that periodically fires to flush drv->buf.  Any
thoughts on what you plan to do here?

Yah, definitely. Planning on going back through these cases soon and 
handling cleanup more properly.

It shouldn't be possible. There are 2 situations where we set 
drv->buflen, and those situations are basically (in vp_channel_read):

1)

while (count > 0) {
     if (count >= sizeof(VPPacket)) {
         //handle packet
         count -= sizeof(VPPacket);
     } else {
         //buffer leftovers
         drv->buflen = count; // must be < sizeof(VPPacket) to get here
     }
}

2)

if (drv->buflen + count >= sizeof(VPPacket)) {
     //handle buffered/read packet data
} else {
     //buffer leftovers
     drv->buflen += count; // must be < sizeof(VPPacket)
}

All data is written to the channel in set-size packets 
(sizeof(VPPacket)), so if we only read a partial packet it's presumably 
because the other is either still sending, or it's sitting in a buffer 
in the underlying device (isa-serial/virtio-serial/etc). So assuming 
things eventually get flushed we *shouldn't* have an issue with this.

...that said...I'm currently debugging a issue over virtio-serial where 
data doesn't seem like it's getting flushed automatically so I'll 
definitely be looking for problem areas like this in the code :)

Might there be some subtlety about how virtio handles kicks/flushes that 
I might be missing? An example is I forward an ssh session over the 
channel to the guest's ssh server, do reads (top -d .001 for instance), 
let it run for a while, then start typing. What'll happen is a character 
echo won't get written to my terminal till some number of additional 
characters are typed. i.e.

my input:    echo "hello there this is a test"<enter>
my terminal: echo "he
my input:    echo "more"<enter>
my terminal: echo "hello there th

It doesn't behave like this initially though, and I haven't seen this 
with net or isa-serial.

Thought I'd ask...I'll keep looking in the meantime.
