// The protocol defined here is actually two sub-protocols, one protocol for control of the main
// process (MainRequest/MainResponse), and one for control of each VCPU thread
// (VcpuRequest/VcpuResponse). Each protocol works the same: the client creates a protobuf of either
// a MainRequest or VcpuRequest, sends it encoded over the main socket or one of the vcpu sockets,
// reads the the MainResponse or VcpuResponse over the same socket and decodes it as a protobuf. For
// specific information on the purpose of each request, see the C API in crosvm.h. Most requests
// here map 1:1 to a function in that API. Only the intricacies unique to the wire protocol are
// commented on here.
