That's weird, it's spice that knows the clients, not Qemu

Mumble... There's something I don't understand here. Specifically the
APIs used by Qemu. As far as I remember when Qemu passes a dmabuf
scanout there should be no QXL_CMD_DRAW command... has this changed?
That would mean 2 copies of the frame buffer, one for dmabuf and
another for memory version.

As above, this should be already done by Qemu... unless changed.

This should already be there too in spice-server code, just not
supporting the remote case.
