Re: [Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH RDMA support v1: 10/13] introduce new command migrate_check_for_zero

[Michael R. Hines]

Can I at least get a firm yes or no whether the maintainer will
accept this capability or not?

What you ask would require defining what a "real world scenario" is, and
I don't think that's a good discussion to have right now. Even if we did 
know the
definition, I do not have the infrastructure in place to do an exhaustive
search of such a workload.

My personal view is: new software should define APIs, not hide APIs.

The capability already has a default 'true' value, which is the same 
behavior
that the value has always been and nobody's threatening to get rid of that.
