[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] spice: increase the verbosity of spice section in "qemu --help"

[Yonit Halperin]

Added all spice options to the help string. This can be used by libvirt
to determine which spice related features are supported by qemu.

For older released, this is true; but for future versions of qemu,
libvirt would much rather learn this information from QMP commands than
from scraping -help output.  Can we get at all of this information from QMP?

No, we don't have qmp commands for any of spice config options. I don't 
think it should be in the scope of this patch.

But since we have already declared that 1.2 is the last release where
libvirt will be scraping -help output, and that 1.3 and later will allow
libvirt to query all configuration information via QMP commands, I think
that you really _do_ need to consider QMP commands in the scope of this
patch series, if you expect libvirt to be able to react to this
information in qemu 1.3.
