NB, you can already migrate into a file

   "exec:/bin/cat > /path/to/file"

and likewise

  qemu -incoming "exec:/bin/cat /path/to/file"

This avoids the problem with POSIX I/O on plain files not actually
supporting O_NONBLOCK in any sensible manner, which your file:
suggestion suffers from.

Regards,
Daniel
