Good catch, thanks.

Thanks, fixed.

I guess I am an optimist at heart :)

No. I mentioned this in the cover letter for v2.  I'd rather see the
qemu fcntl wrapper happen as a separate series, and then come back and
update this, if that is OK.  I'm afraid changes to qemu_open or
qemu_dup_flags would delay getting this series in.

Although Eric is right, I do need to ifdef the F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC.
