That's just retarded, and no you won't get such extentions. Poking at
another process's virtual address space is just daft. Esp. if there's no
actual reason for it.
Furthermore, it would make libvirt a required part of qemu, and since I
don't think I've ever use libvirt that's another reason to object, I
don't need that stinking mess.
