Re: [PATCH 17/28] hw/display: mark bochs, cirrus, qxl, VGA, ramfb as secure

I don't think we should support all those display devices as security 
boundaries.

I would shorten the list to: bochs, ramfb, vga, and virtio-gpu* (excluding 
virgl & rutabaga). Anything else has been known to have various risks and is 
much higher complexity..

Gerd, based on your expertize, I think your opinion matters here.
