Can we make it so that the patch to qemu-dm does not affect guests
which do not use James's PV drivers ?  That would allow us to support
migration of any production domains.  It seems that James's drivers
are not production-stable right now anyway (feel free to disagree,
James!)

Are there likely to be people using xen-unstable with the Citrix PV
drivers ?  Steven suggested that would be a violation of the licence
of the Citrix drivers but is that true even for a Citrix/Xenserver
customer ?  If we don't need to worry about the migration-
compatibility of such guests then the answer to my first question may
be easier ...

Ian.
