This is very similar to the QEMUSizedBuffer based QEMUFile's that Stefan Berger
wrote and that I use in both my postcopy and BER patchsets:

 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-07/msg00846.html

 (and to the similar code from Isaku Yamahata).

I think we should be able to use a shared version even if we need some changes.

Powers of 2 are nicer!
