Yes, a guest can be started or stopped while migration and/or
live-commit are underway.  You probably have to keep the qemu process
around (stopping the guest but keeping qemu alive is different than
stopping qemu altogether), which is where the persistence factors into
it (once we have persistent bitmaps, then stopping qemu altogether
becomes possible).
