Hi, Thanks I've applied this to my vdagent git tree (and will push it to the official tree together with some other stuff soon). I did make a small change, since the cmdline syntax was different for older qemu versions. So I've added the old syntax too, with a bit of text which to use when.

It's not obvious how qemu should be started so that vdagentd can find its com.redhat.spice.0 virtio device.
