[AL] I can answer that - the vdiport is in the process of being replaced,
the replacement is not upstream yet.. so actually you will probably have
to wait a bit. If you really really need this I could give you the vdagent,
and you need to supply the switch "-device virtio-serial -device spicevmc"
to get the device, and you'll need a driver for windows (linux has one
already upstream) that I'll need to package for you as well. So, more work
for me, and you get almost no extra functionality at this point. So if you
really really need this :)
