Thanks for the link.

Some thoughts:

	Guest RPC mechanism: jonathan.ludlam@eu.citrix.com
	- upstream QEMU seems to have "virtagent" implemented, which is a guest RPC mechanism.
	  Any chances to re-use/collaborate?
	  see for example Subject: "[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] virtagent - fsfreeze support"
	  and Subject: "[Qemu-devel] [RFC][PATCH v6 00/23] virtagent: host/guest RPC communication agent"

	  git://repo.or.cz/qemu/mdroth.git virtagent_v6



and a new suggestion (not yet in the wiki):

	Xen block device live migration (storage migration)
	- allow moving VM from storage A to storage B without downtime.
	  Upstream QEMU seems to have some block migration support already.
