Still a lot that I had to clean up (in part due to conflicts with other 
pending patches that also touch qapi), but given the utility of this 
feature, and the impending deadline for freeze, I've gone ahead and done 
the cleanup work.  Your patches are now stages on my QAPI tree.

git://repo.or.cz/qemu/ericb.git qapi
http://repo.or.cz/qemu/ericb.git/shortlog/refs/heads/qapi

Note that I had some ideas for followup patches (mainly strengthening 
the testsuite, which is typically safe early on in freeze because it is 
not introducing features but strengthening the quality of the release).
