You lost this part of your commit message, which gives more details
about the 'why' (the subject line covers the 'what', but it is often the
'why' that is most needed when reviewing a commit later). Your earlier
mail had:
I found this could be useful to have qemu-softmmu as a cross debugger
(launch
with -s -S command line option), then if we can have a command to load guest
physical memory, we can use cross gdb to do some target debug which gdb
cannot
do directly.

I still think that fopen()/fread() is wrong, and that you should be
using qemu_open()/read() - that way, libvirt could pass in a file
descriptor and use qemu's already-existing /dev/fdset/nnn support rather
than forcing qemu to open something from the filesystem.

And I still think that you should list filename first, with val and size
optional at the end.
