From: Michael Mueller <m...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
When running with trace backend e.g. "simple" the writer thread needs to be
implemented in the same process context as the trace points that will be
processed. Under libvirtd control, qemu gets first started in daemonized
mode to privide its capabilities. Creating the writer thread in the initial
process context then leads to a dead lock because the thread gets termined
together with the initial parent. (-daemonize)
