3.17 (kvm-kmod master) also seems to work. I had to move to 3.19 some time ago to
mititage another bug that triggered a new check in Qemu.

kvm-kmod next currently does not compile under my 3.13 host kernel. And according to
the buildbot output for kvm-kmod it seems to fail for almost all kernels <= 3.18.

I will keep my tests running with 3.17 kvm-kmod. Currently it has done nearly 1000 migrations
in a row without crashing.
