Two extra spaces here.

You should do something similar to what you did in spice-gtk with
try_write_compress_LZ4. Code is much more clear that way. Also, consider
checking if host machine = client machine as we probably don't want to
compress data in this situation.

I don't follow why you are changing the name of the function and the
type of *msg

I would prefer something similar to try_handle_compressed_msg() on your
spice-gtk patch. That way, all bits related to the decompression are
handled there.

Hopefully these casts above won't be needed if we keep msg as uint8_t*

I think g_assert_not_reached() fits here as we should not be sending
wrong message type.

Why this change is necessary?

Thanks for your patches!

Next time, please send all four patches threaded as it makes easier to
review/apply them. (git send-email *.patch --to=... should do that)
