A VM booted on an old version of qemu and migrated to a new version will 
behave differently to a the same VM booted on a new version of qemu.
I hope I don't need to explain why this is bad.

As previously discussed, any guest visible changes are liable to break a guest 
OS, particularly guests like Windows which deliberately break when run on 
"different" hardware. Personally I don't particularly care, but if we support 
live migration we also need to support "cold" migration - i.e. shutdown and 
restart.

I'm assuming guest restart includes restarting qemu.
