* Well we don't know where the issue is, not sure where the fix may go
in, ex. if the issue turns out to be how virsh(1) invokes
migrate-postcopy, fix may go in virsh(1). Patches in this series
anyway don't help to fix the migration convergence issue, so they
could be reviewed independently I guess.

* Yes, this patch series is linked there.

* I see, okay. The simple protocol definition seems to indicate that
it is meant for one front-end/back-end pair. If we are dividing the
front-end across multiple threads, maybe we need a document to
describe those threads and how they work, at least for the QEMU
(front-end) side. Because the back-end could be a non-QEMU process, we
can not do much there. (just thinking)

Thank you.
