I would suggest to leave the legacy logic for reading existing qemu
VMs. We can reimplement it - instead of parsing the qemu command line,
virhs can be used to get that information, as Stefano Garzarella
suggested in other thread. We can even implement similar auto
discovery logics for other VM emulators. The VMs auto discovery will
be a best effort, if the user passes "-A <guest>" to the command line,
and a guest with that name is not known - trace-cmd will die,
suggesting  to use the more robust "-A <guest>@cid:port" method.
