Sounds like a good way to get developers to help convert from 
qemu_malloc() to qemu_new*() :-)

If it helps, we can do a grep -l through qemu, put up a wiki page with 
all of the files, and allow people to sign up to convert individual 
files.  I'm sure we could convert the whole tree over in a short period 
of time if we parallelize the effort and make some attempt to coordinate.
