This protocol is intended for guest machines with assigned hardware
devices to send encoded video and other informations that will be
handled as a normal display by Spice.

New GPU devices are capable to capture and encode video in an
efficient way. As the GPU in this case is assigned to the guest
and not the host is easier if the guest do the hard job.

Changes since git publish v2:
- renamed StreamDevType to StreamMsgType;
- fix some spelling and typos;
- add message to support mouse movements;
- describe cursor shape limitation and define some constants;
- fix padding.

Changes since git publish v1:
- remove dependency from QXL header;
- more documentation on different fields;
- documentation on protocol states;
- change capability format and document it.

Frediano Ziglio (5):
  Add protocol to send streams to server
  Add a message to control guest streaming
  Add error reports from server to guest
  Add support for setting cursor shape from guest
  Add support for mouse movement
