The support included is enough to allow VMware tools to install in a
guest and provide guestinfo support.  guestinfo support is provided
by what is known as VMware RPC support.

With vmware tools installed, you can do:

[root@C63-min-tools ~]# vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.joejoel"
bar
[root@C63-min-tools ~]#

to access guest info.  QMP access is also provided.

The live migration code is still in progress.
