The virDomainOpenGraphics API allows a libvirt client to pass in
a file descriptor for an open socket pair, and get it connected
to the graphics display of the guest. This is limited to working
with local libvirt hypervisors connected over a UNIX domain
socket, since it will use UNIX FD passing
We might someday be able to extend it to also work over TCP, by
connecting the user's UNIX fd to libvirt_iohelper, which in turn feeds a
pipe into an fdstream over RPC, then feeds another libvirt_iohelper
invocation on the client that converts the data back into a server-side
UNIX fd passed to qemu. But that's future extension.

I would have sorted this, but it's not the end of the world if you don't.
ACK.
