Hi team,

struct _virHypervisorDriver now have more than 260 APIs to management various hypervisor drivers,

including hardware resources and lifecycle, etc.

But, there is no API for (re)set display devices and its parameters.

Take the following uses the QEMU driver as an example.

To update the VNC TLS certificates without restart virtual machine, run the following command:

{"execute": "display-reload", "arguments":{"type": "vnc", "tls-certs": true}}

Refers: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/9cc07651655ee86eca41059f5ead8c4e5607c734

Can we add a new libvirt API to set the hypervisor driver display configurations ?

If the committer team thinks it's worth doing, I can submit patches to implement the function.

e,g.

The preceding QMP commands ‘display-reload’ can be encapsulated in this way:
