These two patches implement a faster way to copy the kernel and initrd data into the guest. The guest can set up a blit address and then issue a blit command in order to tell qemu to copy the whole of the configuration data into the predefined area of memory.
This saves a couple of seconds of boot time when you have very large initrd images.
