'kvm-spice' is a binary name used to call 'kvm' which actually is a wrapper around qemu-system-x86_64 enabling kvm acceleration. This isn't in use for quite a while anymore, but required to work for compatibility e.g. when migrating in old guests. For years this was a symlink kvm-spice->kvm and therefore covered apparmor-wise by the existing entry: /usr/bin/kvm rmix, But due to a recent change [1] in qemu packaging this now is no symlink, but a wrapper on its own and therefore needs an own entry that allows it to be executed.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
