[Spice-devel] qemu / spice server option passing help

[Jeremy White]

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.

Cheers,

Jeremy

p.s.  Alon, Thunderbird makes it particularly hard to manually inline
patches; I hunted around for an option, but could not find one.  I chose
to get this off my chest now, rather than wait until I could dust off my
mutt-fu.  Sorry :-(.
