If qemu is running under non-root user I wouldn't expect it to be able
to access $HOME.

Although I must admit this doesn't play nice. I can get two different
results:
virsh # qemu-monitor-command --hmp f16 "pmemsave 0 1024 /tmp/dummy.img"
invalid char in expression
virsh # qemu-monitor-command f16 '{"execute":"pmemsave", "arguments":
{"val":0, "size":1024, "filename":"/tmp/dummy.img"}}'
{"return":{},"id":"libvirt-12"}
In the latter case image is successfully created. But I am not sure
whose bug is it - libvirt or qemu.
