I really don't like introducing polling.  I think we should be trying to 
reduce the overall number of wake ups in QEMU, not add more.

I'm inclined to say that we simply declare that reconnecting to a PTY is 
broken/unsupported and strongly encourage the use of something else 
(like unix sockets).  That's always been my understanding FWIW.
