From 54ed388b29794ab08089f1b5c7b0a03d075c3b5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Graf Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2015 13:56:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] pc: Disable vmdesc submission for old machines Older PC machine types might by accident be backwards live migration compatible, but with the new vmdesc self-describing blob in our live migration stream we would break that compatibility. Also users wouldn't expect massive behaviorial differences when updating to a new version of QEMU while retaining their old machine type, especially not potential breakage in tooling around live migration. So disable vmdesc submission for old PC machine types.
