Since qemu is a multi threaded program, how about opening those file
descriptors with the equivalent of O_CLOEXEC set to avoid the race
condition when a fork comes between the 'open/socket/accept' operation
and the 'fcntl'?
We could create helper functions like 'qemu_socket_cloexec'.
The implementation of qemu_socket_cloexec would use the new system
calls and flags listed in:
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html
if available and fall back to separate 'open' and 'fcnt' operations
when not building with a new enough glibc.
