Alon, can you confirm this? I'm still not clear on the use-case.

The two points I'm wondering are 1. If this is really tied to spice (and thus
this info should be part of query-spice) and now 2. if the use case above
really pertains to QMP.

I've talked to someone in the past about having a way to get information about
guest drivers statuses and the conclusion was that the guest-agent agent was
better suited for that.
