[Qemu-ppc] [PATCH v7 06/15] spapr: add rtas_st_buffer_direct() helper

[Michael Roth]

This is similar to the existing rtas_st_buffer(), but for cases
where the guest is not expecting a length-encoded byte array.
Namely, for calls where a "work area" buffer is used to pass
around arbitrary fields/data.
