qemu-system-x86_64: Failed to peek at channel
....hang here....

Steps to reproduce

In host run

make vm-build-openbsd DEBUG=1'

when it is done and gives a shell account then run

  1. cd /home/qemu/qemu-test.*/build
  2. export QTEST_QEMU_BINARY=./qemu-system-x86_64
  3. while true ; do ./tests/qtest/migration-test ; done
  4. ....wait some time until it shows the above hang....
