I don't like the way you're handling human monitor and QMP monitors in
this tests...  comments below:

^ Here, it's not clear what means a paused qmp monitor or a hmp
monitor. this statement is unnecessarily confusing. Here

'paused' not in o -> Is what would define a 'not paused hmp monitor'

"u'running': False" not in str(o) -> This defines a 'not paused qmp monitor'

why we are checking one _and_ the other, as one monitor can't be hmp
and qmp at the same time? It would be at least _or_. And like I said,
it's non trivial to flow this assertion made.

It seems to me that a better (although involving more code changes) approach is:

1) Introduce VM methods is_paused and verify_paused, which would
internally for the kvm vm class, call monitor methods also called
is_paused and verify_paused, with implementations for both hmp and
qmp. verify_paused would throw an exception in case of a failure,
while is_paused would return a boolean.

^ same here, we should have is_running and verify_running methods on
VM that would call monitor methods with the same names.

Now, of course I might be really mistaken here, would like to hear
your opinion on that subject.
