Unfortunately that won't work, because if we do a clone(CLONE_VM) in QEMU that will mean that parent and child share not just the guest address space, but also all the QEMU data structures for the emulated CPUs and also the host libc data structures. Then actions done by the child will update those data structures and break execution of the parent when it resumes.
