This sentence feels like changelog information compared to v1; as such,
it belongs...

...here, for use in the mail but not part of the commit itself.  On the
other hand, the commit itself should mention the name of the QMP command
it is adding (I shouldn't have to read the body of the patch to see what
the command name is).

Is it possible that we might add other tunables in the future?  If so,
this command is not very scalable (we would be adding one command per
new tunable).  On the other hand, adding complexity to achieve a generic
setter is not worth it if we only expect one tunable.

This looks like it takes effect whether or not a vmstate test is
underway.  Does this impact the default of the next vmstate test to
start, in the case where that command doesn't supply a value for period
but relies on the default?
