We only recently have the min version of libvirt high enough for us to use > v1.3.4. So I guess its pluasable.

+1 Dan's comment on live-migration permissions, many users have access to it, although that is not the default.

+1 on Dan's comment around the data leak being one of the worst possible failure modes here.

I guess the patch is tricker for when min_libvirt is < v1.3.4.

Does this not also affect pinned CPU cores as well? Because we might pick a different set of CPUs on the desitnation hypervisor (train onwards)? With all the speclative execution stuff, that is also a possible data leak. Certainly leads to performance oddness.

Do we have an understanding of what backends use this operation mode? I remember discussing this with Cinder around multi-attach time frame, and it sounded like very few backends (if any upstream?) actually use these host based connections.
