If you need to add command line arguments IMHO this feature becomes
much less interesting - just use the QEMU monitor instead of inventing
an adhoc way to achieve something the monitor already does. The value of
using a signal handler comes from the fact that it would be unconditionally
available no matter what command line args were added.
