FWIW:
I rather see postcopy as a way of migrating guests forcibly and I know
a service in which such a way is needed: emergency migration. There is
also a product which does live migration when some hardware problems are
detected (as a semi-FT solution) -- in such cases, we cannot wait until
the guest becomes calm.
Although I am not certain whether QEMU can be used for such products,
it may be worth thinking about.
Thanks,
Takuya
