Hi, is also my goal have spice working on xen, is over one year that I'm 
testing it.
Now the main problem for me is a qemu crashes when running spice + qxl.
Start trying build with internal qemu upstream instead of external one 
(I did the same), see patch below and remove on domU cfg the qemudm 
override:
