get_qmp_events is in python/machine.py, which as I understand might be 
used also by some other scripts, so I want to keep the changes there to 
the minimum. Also, machine.py has no access to qemu_gdb or 
qemu_valgrind, so passing a boolean or something to delay the timer 
would still require to add a similar check in all sections.

Or do you have a cleaner way to do this?
