Updating the QEMU patches
=========================
When updating to the latest American Fuzzy Lop, make sure to check for
any new patches to qemu for binary fuzzing support:
https://github.com/google/AFL/tree/master/qemu_mode
Be sure to check the build script and make sure it's also using the
right QEMU version and options in `qemu.nix`:
https://github.com/google/AFL/blob/master/qemu_mode/build_qemu_support.sh
`afl-config.h`, `afl-types.h`, and `afl-qemu-cpu-inl.h` are part of
the afl source code, and copied from `config.h`, `types.h` and
`afl-qemu-cpu-inl.h` appropriately. These files and the QEMU patches
need to be slightly adjusted to fix their `#include`s (the patches
try to otherwise include files like `../../config.h` which causes the
build to fail).
