Case we're going to have the call (otherwise let's discuss it on the
list):

  - change blocking I/O to non-blocking I/O for qmp commands?

We have a few qmp commands that do blocking I/O (eg. screendump and
dump-guest-memory). Theoretically, those commands could block forever.
This is a more serious issue with the screendump command, which doesn't
stop vcpus.

I've never received a report about this, so maybe this is not an issue.
But, while the perfect solution here is to have async commands, I was
wondering if it would be feasible for synchronous commands like screendump
to be changed to use non-blocking fds. This way we don't risk blocking.
