That is the current QEMU JSON protocol defintion. The JSON messages
will always be formatted on a single line, followed by their 
declared LINE_ENDING (\r\n)

There's a small chance they may change that before release, in 
which case we'd need to switch over to a streaming JSON parser
that detects the logical end of the JSON object stream
