While you're at it, could you maybe also adjust the comments in
include/qemu/iov.h ? It currently says:

 * It is okay to use very large value for `bytes' since we're
 * limited by the size of the iovec anyway, provided that the
 * buffer pointed to by buf has enough space.  One possible
 * such "large" value is -1 (sinice size_t is unsigned),
 * so specifying `-1' as `bytes' means 'up to the end of iovec'.

... and apparently -1 is not working anymore as expected. Maybe SIZE_MAX
from stdint.h is a better choice?
