This patch provide the code to set the VNC password to QEMU upstream through
VNC. The password is still stored in xenstore but will not be used by QEMU
upstream.

For the 99, I probably read this number somewhere. But after checking in QEMU code, I do not see any limitation for this number.

We have to provide every option we want. The minimum is hostname:display, and QEMU will only tries to bind this address, or fails and quit. So to "simulated" -vncunused, we have to provide a ",to=i" options to try every single port between 5900 and 5900+i, and this option needs to be last :(. I hope this respond to your question. -- Anthony PERARD
