Well, as I wrote, the code is not just used for vnc, but also for 
server sockets that (if I got that right) could be connected from 
telnet or netcat implementations that don't speak IPv6.

Well, that's what my patch is about. Did you take a look at it?

Not sure what QMP is (this was the first time I looked at QEMU's 
internals), but I think my patch only leaves one place TODO where I 
chose to report only the first address for now, but it shouldn't be 
too hard to fix that as well.

BTW, in some places I circumvented the need for reporting multiple 
addresses by simply reporting the name that was passed to QEMU 
instead.
