cbd8acf38f qapi: qobject input visitor variant for use with keyval_parse()
Currently the QObjectInputVisitor assumes that all scalar values are
directly represented as the final types declared by the thing being
visited. i.e. it assumes an 'int' is using QInt, and a 'bool' is using
QBool, etc.  This is good when QObjectInputVisitor is fed a QObject
that came from a JSON document on the QMP monitor, as it will strictly
validate correctness.

To allow QObjectInputVisitor to be reused for visiting a QObject
originating from keyval_parse(), an alternative mode is needed where
all the scalars types are represented as QString and converted on the
fly to the final desired type.

Rebased, conflicts resolved, commit message updated to refer to
keyval_parse().  autocast replaced by keyval in identifiers,
noautocast replaced by fail in tests.

Fix qobject_input_type_uint64_keyval() not to reject '-', for QemuOpts
compatibility: replace parse_uint_full() by open-coded
parse_option_number().  The next commit will add suitable tests.
Leave out the fancy ERANGE error reporting for now, but add a TODO
comment.  Add it qobject_input_type_int64_keyval() and
qobject_input_type_number_keyval(), too.

Open code parse_option_bool() and parse_option_size() so we have to
call qobject_input_get_name() only when actually needed.  Again, leave
out ERANGE error reporting for now.

QAPI/QMP downstream extension prefixes __RFQDN_ don't work, because
keyval_parse() splits them at '.'.  This will be addressed later in
the series.

qobject_input_type_int64_keyval(), qobject_input_type_uint64_keyval(),
qobject_input_type_number_keyval() tweaked for style.

a4a1c70dc7 qapi: Make input visitors detect unvisited list tails
Fix the design flaw demonstrated in the previous commit: new method
check_list() lets input visitors report that unvisited input remains
for a list, exactly like check_struct() lets them report that
unvisited input remains for a struct or union.

Implement the method for the qobject input visitor (straightforward),
and the string input visitor (less so, due to the magic list syntax
there).  The opts visitor's list magic is even more impenetrable, and
all I can do there today is a stub with a FIXME comment.  No worse
than before.

a9fc37f6bc qapi: Improve qobject input visitor error reporting
Error messages refer to nodes of the QObject being visited by name.
Trouble is the names are sometimes less than helpful:

* The name of the root QObject is whatever @name argument got passed
  to the visitor, except NULL gets mapped to "null".  We commonly pass
  NULL.  Not good.

  Avoiding errors "at the root" mitigates.  For instance,
  visit_start_struct() can only fail when the visited object is not a
  dictionary, and we commonly ensure it is beforehand.

* The name of a QDict's member is the member key.  Good enough only
  when this happens to be unique.

* The name of a QList's member is "null".  Not good.

Improve error messages by referring to nodes by path instead, as
follows:

* The path of the root QObject is whatever @name argument got passed
  to the visitor, except NULL gets mapped to "<anonymous>".

* The path of a root QDict's member is the member key.

* The path of a root QList's member is "[%u]", where %u is the list
  index, starting at zero.

* The path of a non-root QDict's member is the path of the QDict
  concatenated with "." and the member key.

* The path of a non-root QList's member is the path of the QList
  concatenated with "[%u]", where %u is the list index.

For example, the incorrect QMP command

    { "execute": "blockdev-add", "arguments": { "node-name": "foo", "driver": "raw", "file": {"driver": "file" } } }

now fails with

    {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Parameter 'file.filename' is missing"}}

instead of

    {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Parameter 'filename' is missing"}}

and

    { "execute": "input-send-event", "arguments": { "device": "bar", "events": [ [] ] } }

now fails with

    {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'events[0]', expected: object"}}

instead of

    {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'null', expected: QDict"}}

Aside: calling the thing "parameter" is suboptimal for QMP, because
the root object is "arguments" there.

The qobject output visitor doesn't have this problem because it should
not fail.  Same for dealloc and clone visitors.

The string visitors don't have this problem because they visit just
one value, whose name needs to be passed to the visitor as @name.  The
string output visitor shouldn't fail anyway.

The options visitor uses QemuOpts names.  Their name space is flat, so
the use of QDict member keys as names is fine.  NULL names used with
roots and lists could conceivably result in bad error messages.  Left
for another day.

98cb89af4d error: error_setg_errno(): errno gets preserved
C11 allows errno to be clobbered by pretty much any library function
call, so in general callers need to take care to save errno before
calling other functions.

However, for error reporting functions this is rather awkward and can
make the code on the caller side more complicated than
necessary. error_setg_errno() already takes care of preserving errno
and some functions rely on that, so just promise that we continue to
do so in the future.

603476c25c qdict: implement a qdict_crumple method for un-flattening a dict
The qdict_flatten() method will take a dict whose elements are
further nested dicts/lists and flatten them by concatenating
keys.

The qdict_crumple() method aims to do the reverse, taking a flat
qdict, and turning it into a set of nested dicts/lists. It will
apply nesting based on the key name, with a '.' indicating a
new level in the hierarchy. If the keys in the nested structure
are all numeric, it will create a list, otherwise it will create
a dict.

If the keys are a mixture of numeric and non-numeric, or the
numeric keys are not in strictly ascending order, an error will
be reported.

As an example, a flat dict containing

 {
   'foo.0.bar': 'one',
   'foo.0.wizz': '1',
   'foo.1.bar': 'two',
   'foo.1.wizz': '2'
 }

will get turned into a dict with one element 'foo' whose
value is a list. The list elements will each in turn be
dicts.

 {
   'foo': [
     { 'bar': 'one', 'wizz': '1' },
     { 'bar': 'two', 'wizz': '2' }
   ],
 }

If the key is intended to contain a literal '.', then it must
be escaped as '..'. ie a flat dict

  {
     'foo..bar': 'wizz',
     'bar.foo..bar': 'eek',
     'bar.hello': 'world'
  }

Will end up as

  {
     'foo.bar': 'wizz',
     'bar': {
        'foo.bar': 'eek',
        'hello': 'world'
     }
  }

The intent of this function is that it allows a set of QemuOpts
to be turned into a nested data structure that mirrors the nesting
used when the same object is defined over QMP.

a15fcc3cf6 qapi: Add new clone visitor
We have a couple places in the code base that want to deep-clone
one QAPI object into another, and they were resorting to serializing
the struct out to QObject then reparsing it.  A much more efficient
version can be done by adding a new clone visitor.

Since cloning is still relatively uncommon, expose the use of the
new visitor via a QAPI_CLONE() macro that takes care of type-punning
the underlying function pointer, rather than generating lots of
unused functions for types that won't be cloned.  And yes, we're
relying on the compiler treating all pointers equally, even though
a strict C program cannot portably do so - but we're not the first
one in the qemu code base to expect it to work (hello, glib!).

The choice of adding a fourth visitor type deserves some explanation.
On the surface, the clone visitor is mostly an input visitor (it
takes arbitrary input - in this case, another QAPI object - and
creates a new QAPI object during the course of the visit).  But
ever since commit da72ab0 consolidated enum visits based on the
visitor type, using VISITOR_INPUT would cause us to run
visit_type_str(), even though for cloning there is nothing to do
(we just copy the enum value across, without regards to its mapping
to strings).   Also, since our input happens to be a QAPI object,
we can also satisfy the internal checks for VISITOR_OUTPUT.  So in
the end, I settled with a new VISITOR_CLONE, and chose its value
such that many internal checks can use 'v->type & mask', sticking
to 'v->type == value' where the difference matters.

Note that we can only clone objects (including alternates) and lists,
not built-ins or enums.  The visitor core hides integer width from
the actual visitor (since commit 04e070d), and as long as that's the
case, we can't clone top-level integers.  Then again, those can
always be cloned by direct copy, since they are not objects with
deep pointers, so it's no real loss.  And restricting cloning to
just objects and lists is cleaner than restricting it to non-integers.
As such, I documented that the clone visitor is for direct use only
by code internal to QAPI, and should not be used on incomplete objects
(other than a hack to work around the fact that we allow NULL in place
of "" in visit_type_str() in other output visitors).  Note that as
written, the clone visitor will never fail on a complete object.

Scalars (including enums) not at the root of the clone copy just fine
with no additional effort while visiting the scalar, by virtue of a
g_memdup() each time we push another struct onto the stack.  Cloning
a string requires deduplication of a pointer, which means it can also
provide the guarantee of an input visitor of never producing NULL
even when still accepting NULL in place of "" the way the QMP output
visitor does.

Cloning an 'any' type could be possible by incrementing the QObject
refcnt, but it's not obvious whether that is better than implementing
a QObject deep clone.  So for now, we document it as unsupported,
and intentionally omit the .type_any() callback to let a developer
know their usage needs implementation.

Add testsuite coverage for several different clone situations, to
ensure that the code is working.  I also tested that valgrind was
happy with the test.

3b098d5697 qapi: Add new visit_complete() function
Making each output visitor provide its own output collection
function was the only remaining reason for exposing visitor
sub-types to the rest of the code base.  Add a polymorphic
visit_complete() function which is a no-op for input visitors,
and which populates an opaque pointer for output visitors.  For
maximum type-safety, also add a parameter to the output visitor
constructors with a type-correct version of the output pointer,
and assert that the two uses match.

This approach was considered superior to either passing the
output parameter only during construction (action at a distance
during visit_free() feels awkward) or only during visit_complete()
(defeating type safety makes it easier to use incorrectly).

Most callers were function-local, and therefore a mechanical
conversion; the testsuite was a bit trickier, but the previous
cleanup patch minimized the churn here.

The visit_complete() function may be called at most once; doing
so lets us use transfer semantics rather than duplication or
ref-count semantics to get the just-built output back to the
caller, even though it means our behavior is not idempotent.

2c0ef9f411 qapi: Add new visit_free() function
Making each visitor provide its own (awkwardly-named) FOO_cleanup()
is unusual, when we can instead have a polymorphic visit_free()
interface.  Over the next few patches, we can use the polymorphic
functions to eliminate the need for a FOO_get_visitor() function
for accessing specific visitor functionality, once everything can
be accessed directly through the Visitor* interfaces.

The dealloc visitor is the first one converted to completely use
the new entry point, since qapi_dealloc_visitor_cleanup() was the
only reason that qapi_dealloc_get_visitor() existed, and only
generated and testsuite code was even using it.  With the new
visit_free() entry point in place, we no longer need to expose
the QapiDeallocVisitor subtype through qapi_dealloc_visitor_new(),
and can get by with less generated code, with diffs that look like:

| void qapi_free_ACPIOSTInfo(ACPIOSTInfo *obj)
| {
|-    QapiDeallocVisitor *qdv;
|     Visitor *v;
|
|     if (!obj) {
|         return;
|     }
|
|-    qdv = qapi_dealloc_visitor_new();
|-    v = qapi_dealloc_get_visitor(qdv);

|     visit_type_ACPIOSTInfo(v, NULL, &obj, NULL);

|+    visit_free(v);

1158bb2a05 qapi: Add parameter to visit_end_*
Rather than making the dealloc visitor track of stack of pointers
remembered during visit_start_* in order to free them during
visit_end_*, it's a lot easier to just make all callers pass the
same pointer to visit_end_*.  The generated code has access to the
same pointer, while all other users are doing virtual walks and
can pass NULL.  The dealloc visitor is then greatly simplified.

All three visit_end_*() functions intentionally take a void**,
even though the visit_start_*() functions differ between void**,
GenericList**, and GenericAlternate**.  This is done for several
reasons: when doing a virtual walk, passing NULL doesn't care
what the type is, but when doing a generated walk, we already
have to cast the caller's specific FOO* to call visit_start,
while using void** lets us use visit_end without a cast. Also,
an upcoming patch will add a clone visitor that wants to use
the same implementation for all three visit_end callbacks,
which is made easier if all three share the same signature.

For visitors with already track per-object state (the QMP visitors
via a stack, and the string visitors which do not allow nesting),
add an assertion that the caller is indeed passing the same
pointer to paired calls.

d59ce6f344 migration: add reporting of errors for outgoing migration
Currently if an application initiates an outgoing migration,
it may or may not, get an error reported back on failure. If
the error occurs synchronously to the 'migrate' command
execution, the client app will see the error message. This
is the case for DNS lookup failures. If the error occurs
asynchronously to the monitor command though, the error
will be thrown away and the client left guessing about
what went wrong. This is the case for failure to connect
to the TCP server (eg due to wrong port, or firewall
rules, or other similar errors).

In the future we'll be adding more scope for errors to
happen asynchronously with the TLS protocol handshake.
TLS errors are hard to diagnose even when they are well
reported, so discarding errors entirely will make it
impossible to debug TLS connection problems.

Management apps which do migration are already using
'query-migrate' / 'info migrate' to check up on progress
of background migration operations and to see their end
status. This is a fine place to also include the error
message when things go wrong.

This patch thus adds an 'error-desc' field to the
MigrationInfo struct, which will be populated when
the 'status' is set to 'failed':

(qemu) migrate -d tcp:localhost:9001
(qemu) info migrate
capabilities: xbzrle: off rdma-pin-all: off auto-converge: off zero-blocks: off compress: off events: off x-postcopy-ram: off
Migration status: failed (Error connecting to socket: Connection refused)
total time: 0 milliseconds

In the HMP, when doing non-detached migration, it is
also possible to display this error message directly
to the app.

(qemu) migrate tcp:localhost:9001
Error connecting to socket: Connection refused

Or with QMP

  {
    "execute": "query-migrate",
    "arguments": {}
  }
  {
    "return": {
      "status": "failed",
      "error-desc": "address resolution failed for myhost:9000: No address associated with hostname"
    }

68ab47e4b4 qapi: Change visit_type_FOO() to no longer return partial objects
Returning a partial object on error is an invitation for a careless
caller to leak memory.  We already fixed things in an earlier
patch to guarantee NULL if visit_start fails ("qapi: Guarantee
NULL obj on input visitor callback error"), but that does not
help the case where visit_start succeeds but some other failure
happens before visit_end, such that we leak a partially constructed
object outside visit_type_FOO(). As no one outside the testsuite
was actually relying on these semantics, it is cleaner to just
document and guarantee that ALL pointer-based visit_type_FOO()
functions always leave a safe value in *obj during an input visitor
(either the new object on success, or NULL if an error is
encountered), so callers can now unconditionally use
qapi_free_FOO() to clean up regardless of whether an error occurred.

The decision is done by adding visit_is_input(), then updating the
generated code to check if additional cleanup is needed based on
the type of visitor in use.

Note that we still leave *obj unchanged after a scalar-based
visit_type_FOO(); I did not feel like auditing all uses of
visit_type_Enum() to see if the callers would tolerate a specific
sentinel value (not to mention having to decide whether it would
be better to use 0 or ENUM__MAX as that sentinel).

d9f62dde13 qapi: Simplify semantics of visit_next_list()
The semantics of the list visit are somewhat baroque, with the
following pseudocode when FooList is used:

start()
for (prev = head; cur = next(prev); prev = &cur) {
    visit(&cur->value)
}

Note that these semantics (advance before visit) requires that
the first call to next() return the list head, while all other
calls return the next element of the list; that is, every visitor
implementation is required to track extra state to decide whether
to return the input as-is, or to advance.  It also requires an
argument of 'GenericList **' to next(), solely because the first
iteration might need to modify the caller's GenericList head, so
that all other calls have to do a layer of dereferencing.

Thankfully, we only have two uses of list visits in the entire
code base: one in spapr_drc (which completely avoids
visit_next_list(), feeding in integers from a different source
than uint8List), and one in qapi-visit.py.  That is, all other
list visitors are generated in qapi-visit.c, and share the same
paradigm based on a qapi FooList type, so we can refactor how
lists are laid out with minimal churn among clients.

We can greatly simplify things by hoisting the special case
into the start() routine, and flipping the order in the loop
to visit before advance:

start(head)
for (tail = *head; tail; tail = next(tail)) {
    visit(&tail->value)
}

With the simpler semantics, visitors have less state to track,
the argument to next() is reduced to 'GenericList *', and it
also becomes obvious whether an input visitor is allocating a
FooList during visit_start_list() (rather than the old way of
not knowing if an allocation happened until the first
visit_next_list()).  As a minor drawback, we now allocate in
two functions instead of one, and have to pass the size to
both functions (unless we were to tweak the input visitors to
cache the size to start_list for reuse during next_list, but
that defeats the goal of less visitor state).

The signature of visit_start_list() is chosen to match
visit_start_struct(), with the new parameters after 'name'.

The spapr_drc case is a virtual visit, done by passing NULL for
list, similarly to how NULL is passed to visit_start_struct()
when a qapi type is not used in those visits.  It was easy to
provide these semantics for qmp-output and dealloc visitors,
and a bit harder for qmp-input (several prerequisite patches
refactored things to make this patch straightforward).  But it
turned out that the string and opts visitors munge enough other
state during visit_next_list() to make it easier to just
document and require a GenericList visit for now; an assertion
will remind us to adjust things if we need the semantics in the
future.

Several pre-requisite cleanup patches made the reshuffling of
the various visitors easier; particularly the qmp input visitor.

15c2f669e3 qapi: Split visit_end_struct() into pieces
As mentioned in previous patches, we want to call visit_end_struct()
functions unconditionally, so that visitors can release resources
tied up since the matching visit_start_struct() without also having
to worry about error priority if more than one error occurs.

Even though error_propagate() can be safely used to ignore a second
error during cleanup caused by a first error, it is simpler if the
cleanup cannot set an error.  So, split out the error checking
portion (basically, input visitors checking for unvisited keys) into
a new function visit_check_struct(), which can be safely skipped if
any earlier errors are encountered, and leave the cleanup portion
(which never fails, but must be called unconditionally if
visit_start_struct() succeeded) in visit_end_struct().

3bc97fd592 qapi: Add visit_type_null() visitor
Right now, qmp-output-visitor happens to produce a QNull result
if nothing is actually visited between the creation of the visitor
and the request for the resulting QObject.  A stronger protocol
would require that a QMP output visit MUST visit something.  But
to still be able to produce a JSON 'null' output, we need a new
visitor function that states our intentions.  Yes, we could say
that such a visit must go through visit_type_any(), but that
feels clunky.

So this patch introduces the new visit_type_null() interface and
its no-op interface in the dealloc visitor, and stubs in the
qmp visitors (the next patch will finish the implementation).
For the visitors that will not implement the callback, document
the situation. The code in qapi-visit-core unconditionally
dereferences the callback pointer, so that a segfault will inform
a developer if they need to implement the callback for their
choice of visitor.

Note that JSON has a primitive null type, with the single value
null; likewise with the QNull type for QObject; but for QAPI,
we just have the 'null' value without a null type.  We may
eventually want to add more support in QAPI for null (most likely,
we'd use it via an alternate type that permits 'null' or an
object); but we'll create that usage when we need it.

adfb264c9e qapi: Document visitor interfaces, add assertions
The visitor interface for mapping between QObject/QemuOpts/string
and QAPI is scandalously under-documented, making changes to visitor
core, individual visitors, and users of visitors difficult to
coordinate.  Among other questions: when is it safe to pass NULL,
vs. when a string must be provided; which visitors implement which
callbacks; the difference between concrete and virtual visits.

Correct this by retrofitting proper contracts, and document where some
of the interface warts remain (for example, we may want to modify
visit_end_* to require the same 'obj' as the visit_start counterpart,
so the dealloc visitor can be simplified).  Later patches in this
series will tackle some, but not all, of these warts.

Add assertions to (partially) enforce the contract.  Some of these
were only made possible by recent cleanup commits.

983f52d4b3 qapi-visit: Add visitor.type classification
We have three classes of QAPI visitors: input, output, and dealloc.
Currently, all implementations of these visitors have one thing in
common based on their visitor type: the implementation used for the
visit_type_enum() callback.  But since we plan to add more such
common behavior, in relation to documenting and further refining
the semantics, it makes more sense to have the visitor
implementations advertise which class they belong to, so the common
qapi-visit-core code can use that information in multiple places.

A later patch will better document the types of visitors directly
in visitor.h.

For this patch, knowing the class of a visitor implementation lets
us make input_type_enum() and output_type_enum() become static
functions, by replacing the callback function Visitor.type_enum()
with the simpler enum member Visitor.type.  Share a common
assertion in qapi-visit-core as part of the refactoring.

Move comments in opts-visitor.c to match the refactored layout.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef.  Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere.  Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h.  That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.

Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h.  Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now.  Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.

Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly.  Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h.  Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.

This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third.  Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little.  More work is needed for that one.

After recent changes, the only remaining use of
visit_start_implicit_struct() is for allocating the space needed

544a373159 qapi: Don't box branches of flat unions
There's no reason to do two malloc's for a flat union; let's just
inline the branch struct directly into the C union branch of the
flat union.

Surprisingly, fewer clients were actually using explicit references
to the branch types in comparison to the number of flat unions
thus modified.

This lets us reduce the hack in qapi-types:gen_variants() added in
the previous patch; we no longer need to distinguish between
alternates and flat unions.

The change to unboxed structs means that u.data (added in commit
cee2dedb) is now coincident with random fields of each branch of
the flat union, whereas beforehand it was only coincident with
pointers (since all branches of a flat union have to be objects).
Note that this was already the case for simple unions - but there
we got lucky.  Remember, visit_start_union() blindly returns true
for all visitors except for the dealloc visitor, where it returns
the value !!obj->u.data, and that this result then controls
whether to proceed with the visit to the variant.  Pre-patch,
this meant that flat unions were testing whether the boxed pointer
was still NULL, and thereby skipping visit_end_implicit_struct()
and avoiding a NULL dereference if the pointer had not been
allocated.  The same was true for simple unions where the current
branch had pointer type, except there we bypassed visit_type_FOO().
But for simple unions where the current branch had scalar type, the
contents of that scalar meant that the decision to call
visit_type_FOO() was data-dependent - the reason we got lucky there
is that visit_type_FOO() for all scalar types in the dealloc visitor
is a no-op (only the pointer variants had anything to free), so it
did not matter whether the dealloc visit was skipped.  But with this
patch, we would risk leaking memory if we could skip a call to
visit_type_FOO_fields() based solely on a data-dependent decision.

But notice: in the dealloc visitor, visit_type_FOO() already handles
a NULL obj - it was only the visit_type_implicit_FOO() that was
failing to check for NULL. And now that we have refactored things to
have the branch be part of the parent struct, we no longer have a
separate pointer that can be NULL in the first place.  So we can just
delete the call to visit_start_union() altogether, and blindly visit
the branch type; there is no change in behavior except to the dealloc
visitor, where we now unconditionally visit the branch, but where that
visit is now always safe (for a flat union, we can no longer
dereference NULL, and for a simple union, visit_type_FOO() was already
safely handling NULL on pointer types).

Unfortunately, simple unions are not as easy to switch to unboxed
layout; because we are special-casing the hidden implicit type with
a single 'data' member, we really DO need to keep calling another
layer of visit_start_struct(), with a second malloc; although there
are some cleanups planned for simple unions in later patches.

visit_start_union() and gen_visit_implicit_struct() are now unused.
Drop them.

Note that after this patch, the only remaining use of
visit_start_implicit_struct() is for alternate types; the next patch
will do further cleanup based on that fact.

e65d89bf1a qapi: Adjust layout of FooList types
By sticking the next pointer first, we don't need a union with
64-bit padding for smaller types.  On 32-bit platforms, this
can reduce the size of uint8List from 16 bytes (or 12, depending
on whether 64-bit ints can tolerate 4-byte alignment) down to 8.
It has no effect on 64-bit platforms (where alignment still
dictates a 16-byte struct); but fewer anonymous unions is still
a win in my book.

It requires visit_next_list() to gain a size parameter, to know
what size element to allocate; comparable to the size parameter
of visit_start_struct().

I debated about going one step further, to allow for fewer casts,
by doing:
    typedef GenericList GenericList;
    struct GenericList {
        GenericList *next;
    };
    struct FooList {
        GenericList base;
        Foo *value;
    };
so that you convert to 'GenericList *' by '&foolist->base', and
back by 'container_of(generic, GenericList, base)' (as opposed to
the existing '(GenericList *)foolist' and '(FooList *)generic').
But doing that would require hoisting the declaration of
GenericList prior to inclusion of qapi-types.h, rather than its
current spot in visitor.h; it also makes iteration a bit more
verbose through 'foolist->base.next' instead of 'foolist->next'.

Note that for lists of objects, the 'value' payload is still
hidden behind a boxed pointer.  Someday, it would be nice to do:

struct FooList {
    FooList *next;
    Foo value;
};

for one less level of malloc for each list element.  This patch
is a step in that direction (now that 'next' is no longer at a
fixed non-zero offset within the struct, we can store more than
just a pointer's-worth of data as the value payload), but the
actual conversion would be a task for another series, as it will
touch a lot of code.
