Description

On my machine isotovideo runs with 100% cpu usage in virtio_screen.pm function read_until.

strace shows that it cycles on this:
read(21, 0x6670db0, 2048) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

Adding usleep(1000) before the retry on EAGAIN (virtio_screen.pm line 197) helped, but maybe there is a better fix.

I guess we can set the socket to blocking and set a timer to signal a timeout or similar, I will do some research, it could be improved anyway.
