Dan Berrange rightly pointed out that now that commit 544a373 unboxes the variants of unions, we will need a way for his pending LUKS patches to access the fields of those variants without also allocating wasted memory.
Patch 1 is a cleanup I noticed along the way, although in writing this email, I now see it is only tangentially related. Patch 2 provides the fix Dan needs, and patch 3 documents it, along with other recent changes. Note that this series has a conflict with my other pending series (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-02/msg04703.html); but as it is shorter and is blocking Dan's patches, it may be easier to review these first. Depending on which series lands first, I don't mind posting a rebased version of the other series.
