Why do you have to replay? And what's being fixed?
When migrating a host with with a spice agent running the mouse becomes non operational after the migration. This is rhbz #718463, currently on spice-server but it seems this is a qemu-kvm issue. The problem is that after migration spice doesn't know the guest agent is open. Spice is just a char dev here. And a chardev cannot query it's device, the device has to let the chardev know when it is open. Right now after migration the chardev which is recreated is in it's default state, which assumes the guest is disconnected. Char devices carry no information across migration, but the virtio-serial does already carry the guest_connected state. This patch passes that bit to the chardev.
