BZ#883578
Due to overlapping memory areas, remote-viewer became unresponsive after a migration of a guest playing a video. This update adjusts the monitors_config pointer to fix this issue, and migration of a guest, which is displaying video, works as expected.
BZ#896005
This update disables "surfaces" by default due to a performance regression with the rendering support.
