PowerVM's implementation has a bug where it inserts an extra \0 after every \r going to the guest. Because of that Linux's guest side driver has a workaround which strips \0 characters that appear immediately after a \r. That means that when running under qemu, sending a binary stream from host to guest via spapr-vty which happens to include a \r\0 sequence will get corrupted by that workaround. To deal with that, this patch duplicates PowerVM's bug, inserting an extra \0 after each \r. Ugly, but the best option available.
