Our main design points are to keep the code simple with few dependencies
and to provide interfaces that have the maximum amount of flexibility.

Having a single agent (not an agent framework) is important if we want
these interfaces to be ubiquitous. This really means that the guest
agent should be part of the QEMU source tree IMHO so that there is
always a standard version of the agent.
