This needs a rebase, but looks good to me other than a few nits.

Nit: SPICE should be capitalized

"SPICE guest tools" seems to be the name for Windows, should we say
"SPICE guest tools/SPICE vdagent" instead?

I'd slightly prefer a hash with all the valid keys instead of a regex,
but no big deal.
