If we add another qemu to firmware interface I think the interface
should be documented. I also think that a mix of an ascii and binary
interface is going to be difficult to describe and document. I'd
prefer a pure ascii interface - for example a newline separated list
of four space separted fields: <device name> <cylinders> <heads> <spt>
