What are the rules for printing out 'notification'? Do you want for
the end of the buffer to be '\n' or '\n(qemu )'? If so, if I type:
(qemu) f
But don't hit enter, would that suppress notification?
I'd make everything line-oriented. Anything from the user up to \n is
buffered and ignored until the \n arrives.
Once the \n arrives, the command is acted upon atomically, either
completing fully or launching an async notification.
So the rules are: whenever the monitor is idle, a notification can be
printed out.
