[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 5/7] qdev: make get_pointer() handle temporary strings

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

From: Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>

get_pointer()'s print() callback might return a heap allocated
string, to avoid adding dedicated get_pointer_foo for this case
convert current print() callbacks to return temporary heap
allocated string and make get_pointer() free it.
