This patch set adds the capability to write to QEMU across the fw_cfg DMA
link. It adds a higher-level command to write the BIOS-allocated address of
one fw_cfg file into an arbitrary point within another, writeable fw_cfg file
across the above-mentioned link.
The initial use case is for Windows VM
Generation ID, where QEMU needs to change the contents of fw_cfg
data at runtime, while still having BIOS allocate and manage the memory.
The final corresponding QEMU patch can be found here:

v3->v4: - Added a 'src_offset' field in the message so the pointer need not
point to the beginning of the file.
- Changed the command struct definitions from anonymous to named.
v2->v3: - fixed up the qemu_cfg_write* functions to allow writing to an
arbitrary offset within the destination file.
- Changed function name to COMMAND_WRITE_POINTER and its functionality
to not patch memory at all, but write back to a specified offset.
v1->v2: - separated patch into two functional units.
- changed so writes only occur over the DMA interface.
- fixed coding style.
- removed change to romfile struct definition
(removed new write_back method).
