A minor comment, should you respin: I think it should be made clear that
this is not the expected/normal way in which passt will terminate --
here or in the next patch. Removing the PID file is nice, but that's
(usually) about it.

...what takes care of terminating passt in case qemu doesn't start, now?
The fact that the process is in the cgroup, right?
