This function returns the host device tree blob from sysfs
(/sys/firmware/devicetree/base).

This has a runtime dependency on the dtc binary. This functionality
is useful for platform device passthrough where the host device tree
needs to be parsed to feed information into the guest device tree.

I think this looks OK but I'm wary of anything that calls out to a
external script. However it seems the other popen() case is for
migration and that looks as though it will get removed by the IO Channel
framework stuff.

There may be millage in using g_spawn_sync() as it will return you an
automatically sized buffer.

Sorry for the delay and thank you for your review/comments. According to
your feedbacks I give up my plan about using dtc binary.

Thanks
