Yes, it is only writen to xenstore for new qemu

New qemu hasn't implemented it yet, but I have send a patch named
[xen-upstream-qemu: get vncpassword through xenstore, enable
VNC_AUTH_VNC] [http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/92372/] to this
mail-list before which was cced to you.
That patch allows to read vncpasswd through xenstore in new qemu.

In the discussion, Stefano Stabellini suggest to use QMP to
communicate vncpasswd.

Thanks,
