As I already said, this is just an ugly side-effect, which we shouldn't use
as an excuse to avoid proper integration of agent installation into libosinfo.

Something that could work is to have some fake device for the spice
channel that the agent use, and list vioserial and some kind of agent
installer as the drivers for this device.
