[libvirt] [PATCH] tools: Tweak workding for iothreadset

Update the wording to note the values for polling are purely dynamic and won't be saved across domain stop/(re)start or save/restore.

What about migration? Reviewed-by: Laine Stump <laine@laine.org>

etc. ;-) I started thinking about that while typing and played loose with the workding ;-) to CMA. Still, in order to be truly copied one would have to take the running qemu image and move it elsewhere. The answer may be in how/where the value is stored in qemu and/or memory that would be copied for a live migration. IOW: on the target does qemu start the guest using whatever configuration was "figured out" on the source including any kind of parameter changes that could occur without libvirt's involvement. It's far too late in my day to think about those details. I'll wait to see if anyone else comments about it. Tks - John
