[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 19/21] sysemu: add vm_start_hold/release

[Marc-André Lureau]

This is a simple solution (or hack?) to allow the Spice block driver to
hold the VM from starting before the migration state is completed.

During migration, the destination qemu needs to initialize the NBD
session. This requires waiting for the Spice client and communication
before the VM is started, but using a running main loop.
