Thanks; pushed.

About the only idea I had would be making qemuDomainObjExitAgent()
return a value marked ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK, where the caller can be
informed if the guest is still running every time it regains control
after temporarily dropping locks; but that is, as you say, a completely
different cleanup because it would touch a lot of callers.
