Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 3/3] qmp.c: system_wakeup: runstate and wake-up support check

[Markus Armbruster]

This affects both QMP and HMP.  Let's rephrase the title to

    qmp hmp: Make system_wakeup check wake-up support and run state

Can do that in my tree.

The examples are a nice touch.

Blank line between declaration and statement, please.  Happy to touch
this up in my tree.
