I think names like drm_dma_buf_fd and drm_fourcc_format are much clearer
(other fields are fine).

I would like to see something like

   message {
       /* dma buffer exported by the Linux DRM layer */
       unix_fd drm_dma_buf_fd;
       uint32 width;
       uint32 height;
       uint32 stride;
       /* specifies the format of drm_dma_buf_fd defined in drm_fourcc.h */
       uint32 drm_fourcc_format;
       gl_scanout_flags flags;
   } gl_scanout_unix;

Why not "Rect box;" ?

Sometimes I think SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_GL_SCANOUT_LINUX would be
better in this case. dma_buf is really specific.
But I can live with _UNIX too.
