as a user-only (well, i'm a developer, but don't meddle in kernel
affairs since 0.99pl9); I also like that kvm is totally CLI-managed.

but migration-wise, i think it could be nicer if the 'origin' process
could send the config to the 'target' one.  IOW: the -incoming flag
shouldn't need any other parameter, and the 'migrate' command should
send the whole hardware description before the CPU state, and fail
with a 'can't comply' message if the target complains.

of course, that's a simplification.  for example, the 'target' process
should be able to respect some parameters, mostly the 'external'
descriptions, like storage pathnames, or '-net tap' ones.
