Ok, no big deal; let's do one thing at a time.

Regarding string input visitor, I believe we can avoid the code 
duplication by:

(1) using Qmp input/output visitors in query-memdev

(2) using OptsVisitor in -object


The string output visitor becomes more important than the string input 
visitor, but it is only needed for HMP so it is not urgent.

We can then work on making OptsVisitor use the string input visitor 
internally.

But I'm already applying patches 1-5, 8, 9, 10 (the latter with the 
above changes) to the numa tree.
