Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/2] Add machine type pc-1.0-qemu-kvm for live migrate compatibility with qemu-kvm

This patch series adds inbound migrate capability from qemu-kvm version 1.0. The main ideas are those set out in Cole Robinson's patch here: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/qemu.git/tree/0001-Fix-migration-from-... however, rather than patching statically (and breaking inbound migration on existing machine types), I have added a new machine type (pc-1.0-qemu-kvm) without affecting any other machine types. The existing pc-1.0 machine type is renamed to pc-1.0-qemu-git, with pc-1.0 becoming an alias for one or another, as selected by a configure option (defaulting to pc-1.0-qemu-git, IE no change). This requires 'hot patching' the VMStateDescription in a couple of places, which in turn is less than obvious as there may be (indeed are for i8259) derived classes. Whilst pretty nausea-inducing, this approach has the benefit of being entirely self-contained. I developed this on qemu 2.0 but have forward ported it (trivially) to master. My testing has been on a VM live-migrated-to-file from Ubuntu Precise qemu-kvm 1.0. I have given this a moderate degree of testing but it could do with more. Note that certain hardware devices (including QXL) will not migrate properly due to a fundamental difference in their internal state between versions. Also note that (as expected) migratino from qemu-2.x to qemu-1.0 will not work, even if the machine types are the same.
