Hi,
 
I was wondering if any of these patches actually made it into libvirt code.
I'm really looking forward hyper-v support improvement and features like shutdown VM (not destroy/turn off but clean shutdown) implemented.
Especially interested in 2012/2012 R2 since 2008 is getting old and 2016 is right around the corner.

Unfortunately they have not made it in or received enough of a review (yet) -- my guess is that this is because Hyper-V hosts/clusters are not wide spread and devs cannot test the patches.

@libvirt-devs, if that is the case, we (Datto) would be happy to provide test servers for you so you can play around with the patches. Just contact me or Jason M (see previous mails) directly and we'll talk about it.

We are also working on additional patches to provide a more extensive support. The patches that Jason submitted are just the beginning and provide very basic support.

Best,
Phil
