Thanks - this is much better when it comes to the public API/ABI.
However, my concerns still stands. What *else* is going in the domain
context record, because you can pull the "bump the interface version and
deprecated new fields" exactly once, as the libxg logic doesn't delve
into domain context stream.
At the moment this does increase the downtime of the VM for no gain.
What I'm trying to understand is whether this is "no gain (yet)" or
whether you consider this "done" as far as cooperative migrate is concerned.
