A general comment:
can we add those commands to qm through a 'qga' parent command? E.g.:

qm qga excec ...
qm qga passwd ...
qm qga readfile ...
qm qga writefile ...

a) make it clear that this is thorugh qga
b) qm is quite big and maybe somewhat confusing for users not to
   experienced with it so this helps in grouping and when getting
   help, as `qm help qga` get's possible - which only outputs the
   qga commands then.

I try to give the code a look!
