This works, but I think we need a better approach. The problem is, we 
register monitor FD into our event loop with unlocked @vm and only after 
that we try to lock @vm back and set priv->mon = mon (this is all done 
in qemuConnectMonitor()). I have better fix in mind but I have to run 
now, will post it tomorrow, if that's okay with you.
