The fixes for that are *incredibly* invasive & thus have very high risk
to stability. So that's not the kind of thing that's likely to be approved
for a RHEL5 minor update.
I tried to compile libvirtd 0.7.5 for RHEL5 to test it in our lab an ran into
major troubles when it comes to KVM integration .... do you see a realistic
change that such a new Version is compileable on RHEL5 systems?
A question to a possible workaround: is it possible to limit the maximum time
for a live migration and ... if exceeded ... fall back to "simple" migration?

Andreas
