In fact I think we want to only serialize the contents of the domain's
path in /local/domain/${domid} and leave the rest to be recreated? Will
defer to Paul for that.

Paul, your Reviewed-by: on this one is conspicuous in its absence. I
mentioned migration in the cover letter — this much is working fine,
but it's the PV back ends that don't yet work.

I'd quite like to merge the basic serialization/deserialization of
XenStore itself, with the unit tests.

The patch is basically ok, I just think the serialization should be
limited to the guest nodes... filtering out those not owned by xen_domid
would probably work for that.

Yeah, so let's just do this (as part of this patch #7) for now:

--- a/hw/i386/kvm/xen_xenstore.c
+++ b/hw/i386/kvm/xen_xenstore.c
@@ -235,6 +235,7 @@ static int xen_xenstore_post_load(void *opaque, int
ver)
  static const VMStateDescription xen_xenstore_vmstate = {
      .name = "xen_xenstore",
+    .unmigratable = 1, /* The PV back ends don't migrate yet */
      .version_id = 1,
      .minimum_version_id = 1,
      .needed = xen_xenstore_is_needed,


It means we can't migrate guests even if they're only using fully
emulated devices... but I think that's a reasonable limitation until we
implement it fully.


Ok. With that added...

Typoed, sorry...
