AFAICT, the wire protocol doesn't provide for feature negotiation or
versioning, which somewhat limits our ability to extend its capabilities
in the future. This is a concern since it is also does not appear to
have any kind of security model in the existing impl - QEMU will
accept incoming client connections from anywhere. I'd like to see at
least an upfront feature negotiation/handshake, such that someone could
later add support for authentication and/or encryption, eg by layering
in GnuTLS and/or Kerberos via GSSAPI/SASL.
