[Qemu-devel] [RFC 0/3] qtest: base64 r/w and faster memset

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

Adds new qtest protocol commands for base64 reads and writes,
as well as a proper command for memset instead of faking it
via write.

RFC: Should base64 be the default, and hex nibbles be the opt-in?
Base64 hampers the debugability of smaller reads/writes for which
base64 won't provide much line speed improvement.

On the other hand, the more efficient encoding could benefit
any tests that send more than a couple of bytes of data at a time.

John Snow (3):
  qtest: allow arbitrarily long sends
  qtest: Add base64 encoded read/write
  qtest: add memset to qtest protocol
