Commit v2.2.0-1530-ge556032 vnc: switch to inet_listen_opts bypassed the use of inet_parse in inet_listen, making literal IPv6 addresses enclosed in brackets fail:
qemu-kvm: -vnc [::1]:0: Failed to start VNC server on `(null)': address resolution failed for [::1]:5900: Name or service not known Strip the brackets to make it work again.
