Is it possible to get an *active* migration state event from the source.
In xm list the name seems to change to migrating-.
These events are reflecting the result state of a VM. When a outgoing
migration starts, it is still running as far as everyone should be
concerned - its supposed to be totally transparent. Once it completes
the results state is 'removed'. For an incoming migration, a VM starts
in the paused state until its finished migrating, at which point it is
running. So all the state changes associated with migration are tracked
already.
I can see it might be desirable to be able to explicitly tell when an
outgoing migration starts & completes, and when an incoming migration
starts & completes. You'd likely want more info in the context fo the
migration event though - eg the destination host, and the source host.
So perhaps we should have an explicit migration event type you can
register for, separately from the domain execution lifecycle states.
