[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Refactor und fix do_sendkey

[Jan Kiszka]

Looking at the sendkey implementation, planning to enhance it with a
hold time argument, I found some potential out-of-bound access and not
very readable code. Here is a fix for the former and a (subjective)
improvement of the latter.
