Right now only one monitor device can be enabled at a time. In order

asynchronous notification of events, I would like to introduce a 'wait' command
that waits for an event to occur. This implies that we need an additional
monitor session to allow commands to still be executed while waiting for an
asynchronous notification.
Was there any consensus reached in this thread? I'm once again looking
for ways to communicate qemu watchdog events to libvirt.
With these patches, libvirt could open a second monitor connection to
qemu, and in the second one execute "wait_event". When the watchdog
triggers, the wait command would print the event, libvirt would get the
fd "data available" notification, and create a domain event. Right?
