[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] qemu: Fix checking of ABI stability when restoring external checkpoints
External checkpoints have a bug in the implementation where they use the
normal definition instead of the "migratable" one. This causes errors
when the snapshot is being reverted using the workaround method via
qemuDomainRestoreFlags() with a custom XML. This issue was introduced
when commit 07966f6a8b5ccb5bb4c716b25deb8ba2e572cc67 changed the code to
compare "migratable" XMLs from the user as we should have used
migratable in the image too.
This patch adds a compatibility layer, so that fixing the snapshot code
won't make existing snapshots fail to load.
