Here is the current patch set.  I'd appreciate feedback on whether this
is horribly offensive.  If not, I'll submit the qemu patch upstream, and
the spice-protocol and xf86-video-qxl patches here.

With these three patches, a
   qemu -spice deferred-fps=nn
should make the qemu/xf86-video-qxl driver operate in the deferred
frames mode.  That mode should be dramatically better for network
bandwidth than the normal mode.  Anyone going across any sort of WAN
link should notice a substantial difference with this mode.

Since this effects only the guest driver, and then only the guest
driver for one platform, this really should not be handled through qemu
and the rom at all IMHO. Guest driver options should use whatever is
the common mechanism in that platform to set driver options, so in
this case xorg.conf.

ROM based tricks and the likes are for things like advertising hardware
/ client capabilities to the guest driver, not for things which can be
handled purely inside the guest.

Regards,

Hans
