Right, I fixed that up locally already, but haven't gotten around to
reposting yet.  You can look at the 'drcVI' branch on my github tree,
if you're interested.

Thanks for testing.  Just to clarify what you're saying here, you
haven't spotted a regression with this series, but there is a case
which was broken and is still broken with slightly different
symptoms.  Yes?

Ouch.  That's bad.  I'll have to look into it.

I have rather a lot on my plate at the moment - if you get a chance to
work out which of the patches in the series causes this behaviour,
that could be handy.

This might be due to a problem I've discussed previously with
Laurent.  libvirt uses device_add on the destination's monitor before
sending the migration stream, rather than starting the destination
with already-hotplugged devices as -device.

To my surprise, there doesn't seem to be a system reset between that
device_add phase and processing the incoming stream, which means DRCs
for those devices might be in the wrong state.

I might need to explicitly trigger a reset of DRC state at incoming
migration time to handle this.
