[PATCH v5 0/3] tests/qtest/libqos: add DMA support for writing and reading fw_cfg files

[Ani Sinha]

This patchset enables DMA interface support for writing fw-cfg files in
libqtest. The first patch is just a code refactoring so that fw-cfg
directory parsing can be part of a separate helper function.
The second patch is the actual patch that introduces two new apis for
writing and reading fw-cfg files using DMA interface. The apis are
tested by writing a new basic qtest for vmcoreinfo device in patch 3.
