1. " hash -- holds the md5 like encryption indicating a change "

I don't think "encryption" is relevant here.

2. VMOldInfoManager

how will we know/flag when we expect it can be deleted?
("Old" is relative. what if you will need to create another OldOld 
class? maybe something more specific like 3_0, so you know you can 
delete it when you no longer have 3_0 clusters supported?)

3. "Addresses are kept in the database as a plain-text strings"
at some point we will want to expose this to users. maybe a better 
representation would be in order (could be handled later as part of 
upgrade process i guess).

4. video cards
you mention only spice - what happens to VNC monitors?

5. floppy/cd-rom
expect there will be more than one cd-rom (looks as the most probably 
solution to user data injection afaiu)

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?)
