4. video cards you mention only spice - what happens to VNC monitors? Handled already, look on HLD for 'qxl' - spice device, 'cirrus' - vnc device
iirc, there is supposed to be something around being able to use both vnc or spice (mutually exclusive) without rebooting the guest. i.e., user would be able to connect with either one of these protocols Dor/Alon? another item (shouldn't affect design i hope, but just in case): I just heard spice multi monitor support for linux guests may work differently than for windows. in windows we expose 4 video cards. for linux we may need to create one card with 4 times the memory. ...
6. virtio-serial you mention it in the beginning, but not afterwards wrt implementation details. there may be multiple of these (qemu-ga, ovirt-guest-agent, spice-vd-agent?)
I think those will be handled as (un-managed) vm-device abd by definition can have multiple entries
but having/not having spice configured would affect the need for one of them (spice-vd-agent) and cluster compatibility would affect the need for the qemu-ga one (not sure if that would be configurable or assumed as default for all guests)
