Daniel, exactly!

Martin, indeed, it makes sense,
let me show ...


virtio-gpu: mask as -device VGA

Newer libvirt versions start looking up VGA in the QOM tree.
So tricking libvirt this way ...

    <qemu:arg value='-set'/>
    <qemu:arg value='device.video0.driver=virtio-vga'/>

... to test virtio-vga stopped working.

Lets rename VGA to stdvga and virtio-vga to VGA to get things going
again.  A simple ...

      <model type='vga' vram='16384' heads='1'/>

... will give you virtio-vga when building qemu with this patch applied.

Beside mouse cursor icon change problem - retention,
the only major inconvenience - dynamic guest resizing is broken, just as with qxl.

With the bochs vga, resizing works OK per se, that is, without the need for additional "glue" in window manager.

The question was, when we will be able to use the Virtio GPU without patched QEMU.
