A delayed monitor response is all we need. The command may take a bit to finish, where "a bit" is in the order of a few seconds max, usually less than a second. Blocking the monitor for that amount of time is fine, but blocking the io thread introduces insane long I/O latencies for the guest (and device emulation). cheers, Gerd
