[libvirt] [PATCH 02/20] Wait to receive QMP greeting before sending any monitor commands

[Daniel P. Berrange]

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>

Technically speaking we should wait until we receive the QMP
greeting message before attempting to send any QMP monitor
commands. Mostly we've got away with this, but there is a race
in some QEMU which cause it to SEGV if you sent it data too
soon after startup. Waiting for the QMP greeting avoids the
race
