Re: [Xen-devel] [RFC] Enabling live-migrate on HVM on qemu-xen device model

[Ian Campbell <Ian.Campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm personally not convinced that this change is appropriate for a
stable branch backport, it's a pretty large feature patch after all and
not a bug fix.

You certainly need the JSON changes which let libxl make the QMP call to
enable logdirty in the qemu process. I don't know about the rest,
presumably they only change the internal API and not the external API?
