Charles Arnold 1124043151 Allow unsafe migrations in virt-manager
Normally, setting cache=none is required in order to ensure a consistent view
of storage between the source and destination migration hosts. However, some
configurations have that quality without resorting to the use of an O_DIRECT
open (which is what cache=none does), and hence cache=none wouldn't be
necessary.

Unfortunately, libvirt is not able to determine on it's own all the
configurations which require cache=none for migration but in the interest of
safety enforces it when it isn't otherwise able to determine migration safety.

For this reason the libvirt api has an 'unsafe' option which allows the user
to override the safety migration checks.

This patch adds a checkbox to allow unsafe migration to the 'Advanced options'
portion of the migration dialog.

README

  Virtual Machine Manager
  =======================

This application provides a graphical tool for managing virtual machines
via the libvirt library.

The front end of the application uses the GTK / Glade libraries for
all user interaction components. The back end uses libvirt for managing
Qemu/KVM and Xen virtual machines, as well as LXC containers. The UI is
primarily tested with KVM, but is intended to be reasonably portable to any
virtualization backend libvirt supports.


  Pre-requisite software
  ======================

virt-manager was ported to GTK3 at the beginning of 2013. Older GTK3
or pygobject3 versions likely will not work for running virt-manager.

Earliest tested versions of major components:

  python >= 2.6
  gtk3 >= 3.6
  libvirt-python >= 0.4.0
  pygobject3 >= 3.4

A more detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in.
