virtio spec update?

What are the exact semantics?

Why a new command?  Can't you simply fence one of the commands sent
anyway (set_scanout probably for page-flip updates)?

(feature flag is probably needed even in case we don't need a new
command to make sure the host sends the completion when processing
the command is actually done, i.e. in case of qemu the recently added
fence support is there).

take care,
  Gerd
