I've not seen a plan for the 2.6.24 merge, so I don't know if any features are 
being added or if work is going into other things (e.g. paravirt_ops for 
x64).

From what Jeremy has told me before, live migration interacts badly with 
pre-emptible kernel (a fact which the mainline folks weren't too keen on, 
which I presume is why it isn't merged yet) but should be doable in the short 
term if migration depends on !CONFIG_PREEMPT.  I think there are plans for 
how to support both together in future, if there's sufficient motivation.

Cheers,
Mark
