IMO, SIGKILL should only be sent at the explicit direction of the
user, saying in effect, I'm ok with possible data corruption, I want
the VM killed unconditionally.  I would rather leave VMs paused than
risk corrupting data.  Let's get as much input as we can from the qemu
folks before we go down this path.
