Here I meant something simple like:

     void (*visit_type_int16) (QEMUFile *f, int16_t *x);

that is really the same as qemu_{get,put}_be16s and friends.

It may even be not a vtable, but a function that dispatches based on the 
existing get_buffer/put_buffer callbacks: note that one of them is 
always NULL.  Which also means that the is_write field is superfluous. 
So much cleanup to do. :(
