Alternatively, have the management application pass an fd denoting the socket.

If you are allocating the ports in the management tool, then just tell QEMU what port to open up. I don't think you gain anything passing an fd.


It prevents races, allows listening on non-traditional sockets (vnc over unix-domain), and allows privilege separation.
