Isn't it quite a bit too late already?  That's an old version by
now, and supporting migration from it is interesting for long-term
support distributions - like redhat for example, with several
years of release cycle.  Is it really necessary at this time to
add this ability to upstream qemu?

It'd be very nice to have this capability right when qemu-kvm
tree has been merged (or even before that), but it's been some
years ago already.

Thanks,
