[Qemu-devel] [PULL 2/2] migration: Don't activate block devices if using -S

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <address@hidden>

Activating the block devices causes the locks to be taken on
the backing file.  If we're running with -S and the destination libvirt
hasn't started the destination with 'cont', it's expecting the locks are
still untaken.

Don't activate the block devices if we're not going to autostart the VM;
'cont' already will do that anyway.
