or for a guest where only one disk is being snapshotted, there is no
pause required. See qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActiveExternal in
src/qemu/qemu_driver.c. When a pause is required, it is only for the
fraction of a second required to issue a followup qemu QMP command to
resume the guest, so there is no need for a knob to control the pause
time (it is as already as fast as possible).
