From: Michael Tokarev <m...@tls.msk.ru> With current code, pid file is open after various sockets, chardevs, fsdevs and the like. This causes interesting effects, for example when monitor is a unix-socket, and another qemu instance is already running, new qemu first "damages" the socket and next complain that it can't acquire the pid file and exits, making running qemu unreachable.
Move pid file creation earlier, right after the call to os_daemonize(), where we know our process id (pid).
