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.
