In fact it works on from not updated node to new, you just have to
install (update) qemu-server with this patch on both then it works for
and back on already running VMs.
Its important to install it on all though.

The way that it also works between different installed qemu-server
versions would need to give the destination node an additional flag that
we want to use a TCP tunnel.

@Dietmar should that be done? I mean if they update qemu-server it works
without it also and as a emergency fallback insecure can also be used.
