This could help a lot, but few questions, if I may: - This only helps when the revision is specified, otherwise not, right?

- Isn't there a way how to get the current supported (running) revision of QEMU's qxl video? If we don't know the current (and supported) revision, we are exposing a parameter we know completely nothing about and thus can only try to start qemu with it and wait if it initializes (I know that's how we do it with devices, but there's no other option). Transferring current revision during migration (even when unspecified) would help determining such errors before starting QEMU on destination. There's not much info about the revisions if you don't look in QEMU sources, so I'm not sure what our possibilities are. It's a good thing that the 'revision' parameter is supported since the same commit as qxl driver, though.
