The patch is correct, but what we already have is qemuExtDevicesStop()
being called from qemuProcessStop(). The former will eventually call
qemuTPMEmulatorStop() which should kill the swtmp process, shouldn't it?

Or this patch is there to kill swtmp earlier, i.e. as soon as it sees
HUP on the socket?
