Since Linux now understands how to talk to us graphics over VirtIO,  
let's
add support for it in qemu.

The good part about graphics over VirtIO is that you don't need PCI  
to use
it. So if there's any platform out there trying to use graphics,  
but not
capable of MMIO, it can use this one!
Which platforms are these?
For now S390 comes to mind first ... :-). I'd use and improve the  
spice stuff, but that hasn't exactly been open-source friendly so far...
