Known Issues

• When using Kimchi to detach a PCI device that was passed through to a guest, the device is not re-attached automatically to the host. Alternative solution is to manually issue detach-device on all functions before hotplugging to a guest.
• Guest migration using virsh with --postcopy-after-precopy may not work as expected and sometimes it may take more than one precopy pass to turn the migration into a postcopy migration.
• Executing virsh domif-setlink up/down is not supported for guests which use network interfaces of type spapr-vlan.
