Missing addition to qemumonitorjsontest. You can post it separately if you want but I really want that all commands (which don't have a commandline alternative) are tested because qemumonitorjsontest actually validates all arguments against the QMP schema, which allows us to spot if qemu e.g. deprecates them.
