So are you saying that we should just temporarily revert
QEMU_CAPS_NET_SOCKET_DGRAM detection instead and leave
QEMU_CAPS_DBUS_VMSTATE be?
Give that there was a QEMU release which has one but not the other,
I'd say permanently revert QEMU_CAPS_NET_SOCKET_DGRAM - even if
dbus-vmstate gets merged later, there has been a QEMU release for which
we assume one capability and not the other - so libvirt would be
starting unmigratable machines.
As for QEMU_CAPS_DBUS_VMSTATE, we can either revert it temporarily now
or before the libvirt freeze if dbus-vmstate does not get merged by
then.
