If you follow my advice of moving the call to add_to_iovec() you get
this one simplified and only one place to do this.

Thanks,  Juan.

Moving what call?  The apparent complication is because the old logic
was a bit more involute than necessary.  If you look at the code after
the patches, not the patches themselves, you'll see for yourself.

The logic now is:

   add byte
   if using iovs
       add byte to iov list
   if buffer full
       flush

add_to_iovec has no business checking the buffer.  Why should
qemu_put_buffer_async() check the buffer?

The duplication between qemu_put_byte and qemu_put_buffer is a different
topic.  I think it's acceptable in the name of performance, but perhaps
you can just call qemu_put_buffer(f, &c, 1).

We can rename the function.  I agree with that.

Right now,  it is important because all the integer types are sent as
callas to qemu_put_byte(),  but Orit had a patch to rewrote those using
qemu_put_buffer() dirrectly,  and then we don't use so many
qemu_put_byte()'s anymore.

Later,  Juan.

I thought about it too, we can keep the optimization by checking the size
