New QMP commands should use '-' not '_'.

Does this allow full binary data processing, or does the data need
something like base64 encoding?

1000 is longer than strlen("data string").  Is there supposed to be a
correlation?  Is there a start offset to worry about, or do memchardevs
always behave like they are in append mode?

memchar-write as Eric suggested.

You should add another option which is '*format': 'DataFormat'.

DataFormat would be an enum and would include: "utf8", "base64" to start
with.  The default value would be utf8.  You'll need to be careful to
scrub the output of memchar-read of any non-UTF8 character to make sure
what you are returning is UTF8 clean.

Indenting is off here (need a space after the if).  Plus chr is still
NULL after this returns.  I don't think you should do lazy init here.
If qemu_chr_find() returns NULL, you should throw an error.
