[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 6/9] allow switching a qiov between internal and external storage

[Paolo Bonzini]

qemu_iovec_reset and qemu_iovec_destroy will switch from external to
internal storage (it was previously forbidden to call it with external
storage).  So, qemu_iovec_destroy followed by qemu_iovec_init_external
will not leak memory when called on a qiov that already had internal
storage allocated.
