[Qemu-devel] [RFC][PATCH v4 17/18] virtagent: qemu-vp, va_send_hello() on startup

[Michael Roth]

Make the hello call on guest agent startup so QEMU can do whatever init
it needs (currently, capabilities negotiation). Temporarilly commented
due to this tending to induce a virtio bug in RHEL 6.0. As a result
capabilities negotiation must be invoked manually from QEMU via the
agent_capabilities monitor command.
