From: Michael Galaxy <mgalaxy@xxxxxxxxxx>
In our environment, we need to convert VMs into a live-update-comptabile
configuration "on-the-fly" (via live migration). More specifically: We
need to convert between anonymous memory-backed VMs and file-backed
memory VMs. So, for this very specific case, this needs to work when
host-level PMEM is being enabled. QEMU does not have a problem with this
at all, but we need to relax the rules here a bit so that libvirt allows
it to go through normally.
