From: Ben Warren <ben at skyportsystems.com>

This patch set adds the capability to write to QEMU across the DMA link and
adds a higher-level command to allocate a fw_cfg file and write its address
back to another, writeable fw_cfg file.

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.

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)
