There's no need for this. Just use QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_DEVICE since
-global & -device arrived together.

The '-global' parameter sets global defaults for all devices of a
particular type.
The video handling is a little wierd, because the first card we'll
have todo via '-vga' and a '-set' and the 2nd, 3rd, etc cards will
be normal using just '-device' (see qemuBuildVideoDevStr).
So here you'll want to use -set instead of -global. And then also
modify qemuBuildVideoDevStr

This isn't right. The 'heads' field indicates one graphics card, with
multiple outputs. What you're doing here is creating multiple graphics
cards each with one output. This is something you do by adding mulitple
<video> elements in the XML instead.
It doesn't look like QXL has multiple outputs on one card, so this setting
is not relevant.
Also be sure to create a test case for this in qemuxml2argvtest
