[RFC 0/2] introduce QEMUMachind.cmd()

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

Hi all!

I always dreamed about getting rid of pattern

    result = self.vm.qmp(...)
    self.assert_qmp(result, 'return', {})

Here is a suggestion to switch to

    self.vm.cmd(...)

pattern instead.

I'm not sure we really want to update so many tests. May be just commit
patch 01, and use new interface for new code. On the other hand, old
code always used as an example to write the new one.

The series is based on John's python branch.

Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy (2):
  python/machine.py: upgrade vm.command() method
  iotests: use vm.cmd() instead of vm.qmp() where appropriate
