[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/4] spice: don't create updates in spice server context.

[Gerd Hoffmann]

This patch moves the creation of spice screen updates from the spice
server context to qemu iothread context (display refresh timer to be
exact).  This way we avoid accessing qemu internals (display surface)
from spice thread context which in turn allows us to simplify locking.
