deferred in a quirky way :)

Ah. I was confused by ^M printed in the terminal but it seems to be the 
gnome-terminal's echo. With "strace -o",

read(0, "\n", 4096) in the default terminal and
read(0, "\r", 4096) in raw (which is what QEMU sets to fd=0).

Uff. Alright.

I am really not sure about that when I talk to the vm interactive prompt 
but ok.
