We've wanted this for a while, and I think Frank recently started to
tackle it, so hopefully we'll have it for the next release.

In the mean time, you could chain these together as optional aliases,
which is cumbersome, but perhaps could be generated with a script:

  probe qemu.foo =
    process("qemu").mark("foo") ? ,
    process("qemu-system-x86_64").mark("foo") ? ,
    ...
    process("qemu-kvm").mark("foo") ?
  {
    ...
  }
