[Qemu-devel] [PULL 2/4] libqtest: Ignore QMP events when parsing the response for HMP commands

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: Thomas Huth <address@hidden>

When running certain HMP commands (like "device_del") via QMP, we
can sometimes get a QMP event in the response first, so that the
"g_assert(ret)" statement in qtest_hmp() triggers and the test
fails. Fix this by ignoring such QMP events while looking for the
real return value from QMP.

  Added note to qtest_hmp/qtest_hmpv's header description to say
  it discards events
