True, kvm has enough crash-bugs elsewhere that I already have to deal
with that.  It'd be nice to distinguish kvm/qemu bugs from guest
bugs, though :-)

kvm/qemu also has lock-up bugs, where it's spinning at 100% and the
guest seems to be stuck (even though the VNC server continues to
work).  That's a bit harder to fix with a wrapper script.
