+``-async-teardown``
+    Enable asynchronous teardown. A new process called "cleanup/<QEMU_PID>"
+    will be created at startup sharing the address space with the main qemu
+    process, using clone. It will wait for the main qemu process to
+    terminate completely, and then exit.
+    This allows qemu to terminate very quickly even if the guest was
+    huge, leaving the teardown of the address space to the cleanup
+    process. Since the cleanup process shares the same cgroups as the
+    main qemu process, accounting is performed correctly. This only
+    works if the cleanup process is not forcefully killed with SIGKILL
+    before the main qemu process has terminated completely.
