[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 wave 1 0/4] fw-cfg: support writeable blobs and more files

[Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>]

This is the first (fw_cfg) half of the v5 iteration of the series posted
here:
<http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-12/msg00129.html>.

In this version, the fw_cfg patches have been separated into a
standalone "wave", for helping review / maintenance, and also for
enabling independent features on top of writeable blobs. More
importantly, I've addressed Igor's v4 feedback. See the individual
patches for the details.

Patch #3 is included verbatim from Eduardo's pending series (see the
patch notes for the archive URL), as a dependency for patch #4. If
Eduardo's series is merged first, patch #3 can be dropped (in fact
git-rebase should do it automatically).

Please excuse the surprisingly long list of CC's, it's due to the fact
that fw_cfg is quite widely used (see patch #4).
