If you were to rebase onto the latest git version, you could as of
yesterday use the qtest protocol interface outside of qtest to inject
IRQs, IIUC. :-)

Do note that either SIGUSR1 or SIGUSR2 is in use for timers or something
(and our Wiki page on debugging listed the wrong one last time I ran
into it ;)).
