I must say I really dislike the patches 1..3.  It's _really_ getting the 
QEMU NIH worse.  While it is not really possible to get a new shiny 
mainloop infrastructure in QEMU like snapping fingers (and I'm not sure 
the glib mainloop will ever happen there), there is no reason not to 
adopt glib's infrastructure in virtagent.  While cooperation between 
QEMU and virtagent is close, it is IMHO a substantially separate project 
that can afford starting from a clean slate.

If anybody disagrees, I'd be happy to hear their opinion anyway!

I'm sorry I'm saying this only now and I've been ignoring this series 
until v7.
