Subject: [PATCH v1] xl: fix description of migrate --debug
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2020 17:14:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201029161448.11385-1-olaf@aepfle.de> (raw)

xl migrate --debug used to track every pfn in every batch of pages.
But these times are gone. Adjust the help text to tell what --debug
is supposed to do today.
