Hi Dan,

Since i suspect the next requirement on this would be for RHEVM to parse
the "blob" and enable user to specify addresses i think the content of
the "blob" should be discussed.

Otherwise we'll have to support this "blob" format for the sake of
backwards compatibility and not be able to set a reasonable API between
the engine and VDSM.
