Hey sorry missed this comment....

It does seem to work for me, I've mostly tested pseries but I did test
others too (that's how I saw the arm getchar limit).

How are you observing it not waiting for migration? I put some sleeps in
the migration script before echo'ing to the console input and it seems
to be doing the right thing. Admittedly the test contains no way to
programaticaly verify the machine was migrated the expected number of
times, it would be nice to try to match that up somehow.

Thanks,
Nick
