[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] checker: ignore fields marked unused

[Amit Shah]

While comparing qemu-1.0 json output with qemu-2.1, a few fields got
marked unused.  These need to be skipped over, and not flagged as
mismatches.

For handling unused fields, the exact number of bytes need to be skipped
over as the size of the unused field.
