For qemu upgrade and restart, we will re-exec() qemu with the same argv. However, qemu must start in a paused state and wait for the cprload command, and the original argv might not contain the -S option. To avoid modifying argv, provide the QEMU_START_FREEZE environment variable. If QEMU_START_FREEZE is set, then set autostart=0, like the -S option.
