Yep, I tend to agree. We should have

      can use rawio.

That said I don't think we need to block the entire patch, just waiting
for #3.  I think it is acceptable to implement #1&  #2 right now,
provided that we mark the domain as tainted. After all if we don't do
#1&  #2, then people are just going to set clear_emulator_capabilities=0
which is even more insecure.

Yeah, tainting makes sense.  Once we implement #3 we can remove the taint.
