[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] qtest: base64 r/w and faster memset

[John Snow]

Adds new qtest protocol commands for base64 reads and writes,
as well as a proper command for memset instead of faking it
via write.

This improves the ahci-test performance on my machine from about
14 seconds to about ~3.5.

v3:
 - Including a memset optimization.
v2:
 - Resend as non-RFC.
