multi-fd is certainly desirable to support and I don't see any reason
to block that.
TLS is more problematic, at least if you are using x509 credentials then
you need to tell QEMU what hostname to use for validation. This would
require us to accept a hostname parameter in the URI giving the UNIX
socket.
This reminds me, however, that we should add support for PSK credentials
in libvirt. PSK is an alternative to x509 where you just provide QEMU
the private keypair directly. To use PSK you need to have a trusted
channel to both src and dst over which libvirt can send the key.
...fortunately we should have that already as libvirtd RPC always uses
a secure connection between libvirtds for sending migration cookies,
etc. Libvirtd just needs to generate the key which is trivial.
If we add support for PSK, then a user can use TLS encrypted migration
out of the box with zero config required, if they're using SSH tunnel
for libvirtd.
