Okay, thanks.

Okay, pointer arithmetic on void* isn't well defined in the C standard,
afaik. But it should work with GCC, so it's probably fine.

Unrelated to this patch-set, the whole qi management code needs some
cleanups, it queues a sync after every command and has very tricky
locking. This patch-set further complicates matters there, so it is
probably time for a clean re-write of that part?
