I appreciate the sentiment of this patch but this cannot go into 0.15. 
Lots of tools parse the output of QEMU and introducing something like 
this is going to create problems for those tools.

I'm not really sure this is totally appropriate for the development 
branch either.  I think something like a migration tainted flag that 
showed in info migrate would be much more appropriate.
