Yes. 

I hope to have some time to hack a little your script to use 
a minimal image with a guest agent and do a ping to check that 
migration has succeeded. That would increase the scope of what 
is being migrated. Good for regression tests, specially when
we are modifying the interrupt or mmu models.   

Thanks,
