My postcopy 'QEMU_VM_CMD_PACKAGED' does something similar to
parts of this with the QEMUSizedBuffer, we might be able to share some more:

Is there a reason to use _async here?  I thought the only gain is
if you were going to do other writes in the shadow of the async, with the fflush
immediately after I'm not sure it helps.
