Hey Jim,

I had the impression we had pushed this back in (i.e. cherry-picking d2e5538)
but I was double checking and that's doesn't seem to be case. In adding support
for the prefix in capabilities I found out one issue on the migration failure
path leading to dereferencing a NULL pointer on the destination. If you agree
could we squash the following chunk in addition to the cherry-pick of d2e5538:



Or do you think it should be deferred to 1.3.3 ?

Thanks,
Joao

I wanted to ask you about this on the recent Xen+libvirt+OpenStack sync. Thanks
for checking. It would be a shame if this patch didn't make 1.3.2 since all of
your prerequisite work is in, but perhaps a new patch is best given the changes?

Regards,
Jim
