I see a difference between extending output (such as query command
return values), where clients can gracefully deal with the absence of a
parameter from an older qemu, and extending input (where it is hard to
tell up-front whether a parameter will be rejected by an older qemu).
This is a case of extending output, so I am okay with it; in fact, I'd
rather extend output of existing commands than add a new command,
because then libvirt has to probe which command to call, instead of
calling one command and then parsing everything available.

Libvirt forces the use of QMP for qemu 0.15 and newer.  So while there
may be other users that care, libvirt could care less whether HMP output
changes between qemu 1.1 and 1.2.

If so, now's the time to change it before it becomes locked in stone
with the qemu 1.2 release.  Libvirt has not yet been taught to use the
new information.

Actually, milliseconds

Also, s/total_time/total-time/ - QMP favors '-' over '_'

Did we ever decide whether to favor US (canceled) or UK (cancelled)?
