[Bug 795366] [NEW] virsh save may fail under load on natty

[Jamie Strandboge]

Public bug reported:

This does not affect Oneiric or Maverick. It seems the combination of qemu and libvirt in natty causes this problem. Upstream bugs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678548
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=672725
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678524

It appears that redhat had a fix to help with this in:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-0596.html

And a fix for qemu in:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0534.html

Finally, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678548#c7 gives the
commit (in 0.9.0) to also fix this issue. I have not investigated this
heavily, but discovered the issue when running test-libvirt.py in QRT.
Since natty is released and not an LTS, I am not sure how worthwhile
this is to fix. I have disabled the save/restore tests in QRT for natty
for the time being.
