Maybe we can introduce a tighter seccomp sandbox environment that 
doesn't allow the QEMU process to call exec(), open(), socket() (and 
anything else?) on top of the syscalls that are already not included in 
the -sandbox whitelist.  This would require fd's to be passed from 
libvirt.  Eduardo's going to work on adding functionality in this area 
in case you have any suggestions.
