spice_server_vm_start/stop() was added to help migration state (commit f5bb039c6d97ef3e664094eab3c9a4dc1824ed73).
However, a paused VM could keep running the spice server. This will allow a Spice client to keep sending commands to a spice chardev. This allows to stop/cont a VM from a Spice monitor port. Character devices (vdagent/usb/smartcard/..) should not read from Spice when the VM is paused.
