Not a problem with your patch, since this is just code movement, but
I would note that some (many?) uses of these functions in QEMU are likely
wrong / bad. These functions all check according to the current locale
rules, while IME most developers assume these APIs are following ASCII
match rules. IOW, these may well be allowing more characters through
than expected.

We might want to consider whether some callers need switching to use
the glib provided APIs that explicitly match in ASCII rules:
