Spice had (when migration was bidirectional) an external agent (spice client)
that worked fine with live migration. I agree an external agent makes live
migration more difficult, but I disagree it is a blocker. It did require bidirectional
data exchange with qemu, but how is that a problem? why do all migrations have to
be identical to to-file migrations?
