Hum, what happens if the remote node has an old libvirtd which doesn't
know the VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED flag ? I would expect some kind of flag
checking on the receiving end might generate an error, true ?

Hum ... that's still a change of semantic, LIVE and PAUSED would
actually still run the domain until the data are transfered on the
other side (mostly).
If we keep that overriding semantic then that should be in the
description IMHO
That sounds reasonnable to me, but I wonder what's the use case :-)
