Sounds like we need to expose something via the monitor to let admin
apps discover if QXL has been enabled with SPICE vs plain VGA compat
mode only. This is useful for apps to know, so that they can tell
the user that something is wrong performance wise, if the OS is
expected to have QXL present but does not.
