This is the second attempt to fix this issue, as a lesson from the last time it doesn't try to use an async monitor command. So with this patchset, in qxl mode, a screendump monitor command will complete before the file is written to disk. This is much better then a hang. To fix it does require asynchronous monitor command completion.

Changes from previous RFC (v4 to match my internal patches, it's actually the second):
 - dropped the DisplayAllocator
 - dropping flip (Gerd Hoffman suggestion)
 - dropping needless call to console_select (from Gerd)
 - use a bh for the bug fix itself, previously called dpy_update
  and wrote to vga->ds.surface->data from spice server thread, a no no.
 - last patch uses a bh for the ppm_save as well, same problem as one
  in the previous round. I'm going to work on a solution to that as discussed
  on the list (either a QAPI equivalent of the old async monitor or a new really
  async command with completion event that libvirt/autotest/etc would have to
  use), but didn't want to wait for that with the already prolonged wait from the last
  RFC.

Please review,

Alon Levy (8):
  sdl: remove NULL check, g_malloc0 can't fail
  qxl: drop qxl_spice_update_area_async definition
  qxl: screen_dump in vga: do a single ppm_save
  qxl: require spice >= 0.8.2
  qxl: remove flipped
  qxl: introduce QXLCookie
  qxl: make qxl_render_update async
  qxl-render: call ppm_save on bh

Gerd Hoffman (1):
  console: don't call console_select unnecessarily
