When enabling switchover-ack on qemu from libvirt, the .party value
was set to both source and target; however, qemuMigrationParamsCheck()
only takes that into account to validate that the remote side of the
migration supports the flag if it is marked optional or auto/always on.
In the case of switchover-ack, when enabled on only the dst and not
the src, the migration will fail if the src qemu does not support
switchover-ack, as the dst qemu will issue a switchover-ack msg:
qemu/migration/savevm.c ->
loadvm_process_command ->
migrate_send_rp_switchover_ack(mis) ->
migrate_send_rp_message(mis, MIG_RP_MSG_SWITCHOVER_ACK, 0, NULL)
Since the src qemu doesn't understand messages with header_type ==
MIG_RP_MSG_SWITCHOVER_ACK, qemu will kill the migration with error:
qemu-kvm: RP: Received invalid message 0x0007 length 0x0000
qemu-kvm: Unable to write to socket: Bad file descriptor
Looking at the original commit [1] for optional migration capabilities,
it seems that the spirit of optional handling was to enhance a given
existing capability where possible. Given that switchover-ack
exclusively depends on return-path, adding it as optional to that cap
feels right.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
