this seems quite reasonable.

Will it be good if we'll change logging implementation to
use macros, something like

#define qemu_log_mask(int mask, const char *ftp, ...) \
do { \
va_list ap; \
   \
if (!(qemu_loglevel & mask) || !qemu_logfile) {\
       break;\
   }\
   qemu_log(ftp, __VA_ARGS__); \
} while (0)

This IMHO makes sense even out of the scope of this patch.
