The last Patch isn't the latest version. I have one with improved comments here:

https://github.com/plieven/qemu/commit/e599748ab1ef381d4b1c88bf1ea1454dd89353fb

I also had another improvement:

https://github.com/plieven/qemu/commit/2b4180a5f4ec29a59de692e9aa512b7b4d8023e7

which limits the number of memmove operation in qio_buffer_advance.
