I don't think this qualifies as trivial patch.

I'm not against extending scripts/qmp/qmp this way, but this
deserves some coordination to allow usage of QMP addresses that
are not unix sockets in other scripts too.  Supporting libvirt's
qemu-monitor-command would be another use case for this.  See:

https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-block@nongnu.org/msg41351.html

I suggest adding a new option name (e.g. --tcp) to explicitly
tell the script you have a hostname:port pair, for simplicity.
It doesn't make sense to overload an option named "path" for
something that is not a path.
