[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Fix two XBZRLE corruption issues

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <address@hidden>

Push zero'd pages into the XBZRLE cache
    A page that was cached by XBZRLE, zero'd and then XBZRLE'd again
    was being compared against a stale cache value

Don't use 'qemu_put_buffer_async' to put pages from the XBZRLE cache
    Since the cache might change before the data hits the wire
