[Xen-devel] [PATCH v10] tools/libxl: Add qxl vga interface support for upstream qemu



From: Fabio Fantoni <fabio.fantoni@xxxxxxxxxx>

Usage:
  vga="qxl"

Changes from v8:
- vga=qxl instead of qxl=1 to use it.
- Show an error and exit if vga="qxl" without qemu upstream.
- Other small improvements.
