I'm not sure proxying all the requests to the guset through qemu is desirable,
other than having single point of management, most of the calls will be pass
throgh and has no interest to qemu (MITM?).
There is a big advantage on direct communication (VDSM <-> agent), that way
features can be added to the ovirt stack without the need to add it to the
qemu.
I envision the agent will have 2 separate ports to listen to, one to
communicate to qemu and one for VDSM.
