[fedora-virt] spice and qemu 0.14

[Gianluca Cecchi]

I followed the post and compiled all with
rpmbuild -bb ./qemu.spec
then
- rpm -e qemu-kvm qemu-system-x86 qemu-img qemu-common libvirt
- rpm -Uvh qemu-kvm-0.14.0-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
qemu-kvm-tools-0.14.0-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
qemu-system-x86-0.14.0-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm qemu-img-0.14.0-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
qemu-common-0.14.0-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
- yum install libvirt (from virt-preview repo)

I'm now able to connect to my w2k3 guest with spicec and can get audio
working too, so there is a step forward.

Only problem is that in w2k3 I'm forced to have the video card driver set as
vga, because if I install the qxl driver I then reboot
and the w2k3 guest remains in black and then powers off....
In  /var/log/libvirt/qemu/w2k3.log I can see:
qemu-kvm: /home/gcecchi/rpmbuild/BUILD/qemu-kvm-0.14.0/qemu-kvm.c:1724:
kvm_mutex_unlock: Assertion `!cpu_single_env' failed.
2011-03-13 20:22:58.116: shutting down
...

I don't know if the qxl driver is supposed to work in w2k3 (I'm using the
qxl-win32-0.6.1.zip file for drivers) or if this is an expected behaviour
