Hi Yasufumi,

Thank you for the patch.

I think adding a remote management port is good idea.

But I am not able to apply the patch, mail client seems wrapped some
lines, I tried to fix but not able to. Would you mind using git
send-email for sending patches?

And if possible can you please split patch into multiple patches, one
patch for each logical thing, for your case you can have a separate
patch for each fix you listed above. This makes easy to understand each
modification done for a fix or feature.

Thanks,
ferruh
