[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] migration: announce VM's new home just before VM is runnable

[Amit Shah]

We were announcing the dest host's IP as our new IP a bit too soon -- if
there were errors detected after this announcement was done, the
migration is failed and the VM could continue running on the src host --
causing problems later.

Move around the qemu_announce_self() call so it's done just before the
VM is runnable.
