Hi all,

If the host doesn't support halt polling, this patch seems to break libvirt save/restore:

"
virsh # save halt-poll-vm halt-poll-vm.sav --running --verbose
Save: [100 %]
Domain halt-poll-vm saved to halt-poll-vm.sav

virsh # restore halt-poll-vm.sav
error: Failed to restore domain from halt-poll-vm.sav
error: operation failed: guest CPU doesn't match specification
"

I believe this occurs because libvirt rejects the restore if there are filtered features, which is the case if halt polling is enabled on a host which doesn't support it (halt polling is enabled 'by default').

As such, I think we should only enable halt polling if it is supported on the host - see the attached patch.

...thoughts?

Thanks,
-Mark

Add support for halt poll control MSR: save/restore, migration
and new feature name.

The purpose of this MSR is to allow the guest to disable
host halt poll.

Queued, thanks.  Sorry for missing it until now.
