[Qemu-devel] [PULL v1 3/3] io: convert QIOChannelBuffer to use uint8_t instead of char

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>]

The QIOChannelBuffer struct uses a 'char *' for its data
buffer. It will give simpler type compatibility with the
migration APIs if it uses 'uint8_t *' instead, avoiding
several casts.
