Hi,
  Looking at this and the previous pair of patches, I think we'd be
better if we defined that async commands took a callback function
pointer and data that they call.

  Here we've got 'graphic_hw_update_done' that explicitly walks qmp
lists; but I think it's better just to pass graphic_hw_update() the
completion data together with a callback function and it calls that when
it's done.

(Also isn't it a little bit of a race, calling graphic_hw_update() and
*then* adding the entry to the list? Can't it end up calling the _done()
before we've added it to the list).

Also, do we need a list of outstanding screendumps, or should we just
have a list of async commands.

It wouldn't seem hard to use the async-QMP command from the HMP
and then just provide a way to tell whether it had finished.

Dave
