Sure.  All the info is given in both cases, thats why there is quite 
some code sharing ;)  I'll go split the patch nevertheless, with the doc 
updates added it indeed makes sense.

"info spice" can be used to figure the connections which did already 
exist before management connected to qmp.  Later on just processing the 
events gives you all informations you need.

cheers,
