I've already done commits for spice{,-protocol}{.i686,.x86-64} 0.10.0,
have done a spice-protocol 0.10 build and waiting for karma to do a
spice build (since I need spice-protocol >= 0.9.1 for the semi-seamless
to build spice >= 0.9.2)

But the real testing would be if qxl+qemu work for i686, I haven't
tested that at all. My next step (to verify spice-server is usable in
i686 and there are no other bugs that didn't appear as compilation
failures) is to build and try xorg-x11-server-Xspice.i686
