That's what we're now doing.

But what's the rationale here?  For instance, qemu 0.15 is also
printing:

  qemu: terminating on signal 15 from pid 9617

which I guess is interesting, but unlikely to be useful for users.

Is qemu now noisy by default?  Is any old debug message that a user
might find interesting fair game?
