This makes me wonder about immediately closing in remove-fd and drop the
removed field.  This way, code using mon_fdset->fds does not need to
worry about removed=true fds.



The reason we don't immediately close in remove-fd is so that the client doesn't have to keep track of what fd's are in use by QEMU.

Let's say libvirt uses add-fd to add fd=4 (O_RDONLY) and fd=5 (O_RDWR) to fd set 2 and they both refer to /mnt/nfs/data.img. libvirt can then issue a command that uses the fd (e.g. drive_add file=/dev/fdsets/2). QEMU then opens and closes that file as it desires by dup'ing the fd in the fd set that has matching access mode (O_RDONLY or O_RDWR) and closing the dup'd fd.

By not closing the fd immediately in remove-fd, we allow the client to issue a command like drive_open and immediately follow it with a remove-fd and not have to worry about determining when QEMU is done using the fd.
