Traditionally, we pass incoming migration URI on QEMU command line, which has some drawbacks. Depending on the URI QEMU may initialize its migration state immediately without giving us a chance to set any additional migration parameters (this applies mainly for fd: URIs). For some URIs the monitor may be completely blocked from the beginning until migration is finished, which means we may be stuck in qmp_capabilities command without being able to send any QMP commands. QEMU solved this by introducing "defer" parameter for -incoming command line option. This will tell QEMU to prepare for an incoming migration while the actual incoming URI is sent using migrate-incoming QMP command. Before calling this command we can normally talk to the monitor and even set any migration parameters which will be honored by the incoming migration.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
