I think it is still to early for that.  There will be a new revision of
the patch (after kvm forum probably), it doesn't match the current code
any more.

Thanks.

If you (or anybody else) spots any protocol design issues please speak
up, it isn't merged upstream yet so we can fixup things without too much
pain.  This is #1 on my virtio-gpu todo list.

Yea, I suspect the virtio-gpu text basically needs to to a transition
simliar to the informal virtio 0.9.x to oasis virtio 1.0.  I'll go over
your comments when I prepare the next patch revision.
