Bug description:
=========================================
SRU Justification:
1. Impact: 'qemu -drive ...,serial=xyz' does not work
2. How addressed: a patch from upstream fixes bug that sizeof was called on
the wrong thing.
3. patch: is in the description
4. to reproduce: use '-drive ...,serial=xyz' option to qemu
5. regression potential: this only changes one line which called sizeof on
the wrong thing, so should not impact any other code.
=========================================
The -drive ...,serial=xyz option is broken, at least in 0.12. See
Debian bug#573439, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573439 for details.
