Well, "vnc console" is how the nvidia guys name it, the term doesn't
really match.  It's basically a simple framebuffer where the nvidia
driver renders the guest display, and a vfio interface for qemu to
access it.  From spice point of view it looks very simliar to the qemu
standard vga, i.e. it is a classic display channel.

The nvidia driver renders to it at a low framerate (10fps).  It is
intended to be used in case the streaming agent doesn't work
(installation, trouble shooting, ...).

cheers,
