Why not take it further and provide the option to do away
with the spice event loop entirely. Having 2 threads both
providing event loops (QEMU event loop thread + SPICE event
loop thread) feels rather pointless. Obviously for backcompat
you need to be able to run the event loop in SPICE thread,
but We could provide an API which lets QEMU tell libspice
that it can use the default GMainContext and not run its
own.
