The following series of patches sync the VNC authentication support in Xen's
fork of QEMU, to match the latest upstream QEMU. This is to enable the new
VeNCrypt protocol extension which provides for TLS enryption and x509 auth
in the VNC server. This extension can be used by client programs such as the
GTK-VNC widget[1], virt-viewer/virt-manager[2], and the VeNCrypt viewer[3]
Since these patches are already upstream, they will go away next time we
re-base QEMU in Xen, and thus have minimal long term maintainence pain,
compared to current auth code which is not upstream.

Regards,
Dan.
