Since we now perform memory alignment earlier, we will reflect the aligned size back to the XML instead of re-aligning it at command line generation time every single time the VM is started. So the XML that we're going to send to the migration destination will contain sizes that are already aligned, and thus further alignment should not be necessary. At least, that's the theory :) Daniel, did you test migration between libvirt 7.0.0 and earlier releases? Can you confirm it works? -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
