This is cool, but it's not really QEMU specific -- it should
work on any Linux guest running on some hypervisor or hardware
that exposes virtio devices, right? So I'm not sure it really
belongs in QEMU's source tree...
If you're a distro packager you'd probably want to have this be in its
own package or at least not in the same package as the QEMU binaries,
for instance, because this lives in the guest, not the host.
