Something like the attached patch?  Which is just the bare minimum I'll
need for screendump.  Basically a one-off bottom half with some monitor
infrastructure (job id, error handling).  So it isn't for big jobs, but
for small jobs which have to wait for something before they execute
(spice-server, guest action, whatever).

If you wanna some more context: screendump on top of that is here:
