I think dest should be char *, like all the functions where dest is passed to.
The output may but need not be a string, it's binary data. And to avoid
needless warnings about signedness mismatches if unsigned char or
uint8_t buffers are passed, I chose void *.
I think qemu is pretty consistent in using uint8_t for binary, and void
* is a little dangerous as it allows passing any kind of data (anything
above a byte is subject to endianness issues for example).
But I don't feel strongly about this.
