When qemu is terminated by a signal, such as SIGINT (Ctrl+C),
it exits with a zero, successful status.  Is it intentional?

Sure, from the qemu perspective, pulling the plug from the
guest machine is a success.  But maybe it's better to indicate
that the exit was due to interrupt, not because of `exit'
command which is a much better version of pulling the plug?

If yes, what exit code should it return?

Thanks,
