Ah, my bad.  Thanks for pointing it out, Pavel.

Yep, '-d cmd,time' perfectly logs the QMP requests/response, on stdio,
when I invoke QMP commands from a different shell:


    $ ./qemu-system-x86_64 \
    [. . .]
    2015-10-15 17:38:58.474 qmp request:
    {
        "execute": "blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync",
        "arguments": {
            "name": "snapshot2",
            "device": "virtio0"
        }
    }
    2015-10-15 17:38:58.488 qmp response:
    {
        "return": {
        }
    }
    2015-10-15 17:39:25.743 qmp request:
    {
        "execute": "quit",
        "arguments": {
        }
    }
    2015-10-15 17:39:25.743 qmp response:
    {
        "return": {
        }
    }
    2015-10-15 17:39:25.744 qmp event:
    {
        "timestamp": {
            "seconds": 1444923565,
            "microseconds": 744211
        },
        "event": "SHUTDOWN"
    }

Also, Stefan Hajnoczi pointed out on IRC that: "-D is mainly a TCG
thing.  There are plenty of fprintf(stderr) calls in QEMU".  So, the
stderr might not be affected by it.
