For qemu, this is handled at the kernel modesetting level with QXL.
See drmModeSetCursor2.

And my question about whether a similar patch for
set_cursor_position() would make sense is still open (I assume this
is relevant for Qemu too):
VirtualBox can use the host cursor as a hardware cursor for a
guest system, but it can't change its position, so if the guest
wants the cursor anywhere except where the host put it (e.g.
another device controlling it, or the cursor confined to a screen
region) it needs to draw it itself. Of course,
set_cursor_position() should still be called even after it has
failed once so that we could switch back if the positions matched
again.
Isn't drmModeSetCursor2() for passing through the hot-spot? I'm not
sure this would help if the X server wanted to put the cursor in a
different location to the host pointer, particularly if it didn't change
the sprite at that time since then drmModeSetCursor2() would not get called.

Michael
