I would be happy with this.  I don't mind a bit of policy creeping into 
qemu as long as we're exposing the underlying mechanisms.

If it were me, I'd do:

set-password $protocol $secret
unset-password $protocol
expire-password [never | $seconds]

And I would implement expire-password in terms of unset-password.
