RE: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] USB over network

The protocol is still in its pre-draft status.

Will changed (Do you have an idea how to name it?).

I didn't understand. Do you mean that the value might change if qemu is running 
on a different type of CPU?

Can't take the Windows' coding conversion from a Windows programmer :-). I'll 
lower case them.
