Hi Olaf,

I did try to fix a migration related issue that has to do with a new
lock placed by qemu. But if the issue your having is actually fixed.

The lock as been introduced in QEMU 2.10, but the was not working well
with Xen, so for Xen 4.10, I've apply to qemu-xen-4.10:
    migration, xen: Fix block image lock issue on live migration
    a4166a0a50dda967f30c9d85fa8aa2ea2539798e

I did fix the bug in QEMU 2.11 (5d6c599fe1d69a1bf8c5c4d3c58be2b31cd625ad)
so Xen 4.11 does include it it the qemu-xen tree.

There is one last commit for libxl:
    libxl_qmp: Tell QEMU about live migration or snapshot
    db0c7dde021c29c2ae0d847d70fb7b59e02ea522

I'm not sure if that information is going to help, but that what I have
for now about the lock of block images.
