Or is supported or not, there's not try. If you need 2.32 functions
on spice-server is not supported, if you need 2.32 functions on a
specific test that specific test can disable the checks.
This patch won't allow RHEL6 to compile spice-server so is dropping
RHEL6 support. People will have to patch the build in order to
build spice-server.

As I said an ack to this patch requires explicit agreement of
the support drop. I agree! Just have to be explicit.
