ok, then that one is ok.

+Emitted when migration ends (both in source and target)

A start event is going to be generated already, no?
problem here is that libvirt start target with -S, and waits to do the
"cont" as soon as possible.  As of know, only way to do it is to poll
info migrate on source faster.

Why does it do that??

That sound like a terrible idea.

There should be some information about why it failed, no? Preferrably
in a QError format.
At this point, we have basically -1 :(

I can add a field with an error number, but we are very bad at the
moment about moving errno's upstack.

We need a better solution for reporting errors via notifications.

I think this makes more sense as a MIGRATION_CONNECTED event.  It
probably should carry peer information too.
What kind of peer information?

We have tcp/fd/exec/unix migrations.  calling it CONNECTED vs STARTED, I
don't care.  But adding information?  Notice that the management
application knows what it did, I can put the:

  "exec: gzip -d<  /tmp/foo"

string, but not much more that I can put here.

Basically, do we have any useful information in info migrate that we can include?
