Actually I think it is relatively easy to support migration from BOTH
qemu and qemu-kvm.  By adding a _runtime_ command-line switch (such as
--qemu-kvm-compat, which has been already mentioned in other context),
which modifies that migration stuff (machine definitions) in a reasonable
way.  It can be done based on this patchset I guess (when it will be
polished and proven to work well).  And after that is done, this
configure option can go away.

How do you guys think?

Thanks!
