So this doesn't say what files are actually feeding the TLS 
configuration; the docs already mentioned 'tls', but do we need to add a 
cross-reference that states when tls='yes' is in effect then the server 
uses the files as configured in qemu.conf?  Knowing how the server is 
keyed is important for writing a client that can connect over TLS to the 
server.

But the overall idea makes sense.
