The original intention was to improve the behaviour of the VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST flag which makes the VM persistent after migration on the destination when used with VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_XML. While it worked as intended with p2p migration where the migration is driven from the virtqemud instance on the source of the migration, which can distinguish between the user-provided input XML and the one fetched from the source of the migration, it's not easily possible to achieve the same behaviour with normal migration driven from the client library. The approach also still had corner cases (originally deemed worth changing) such as if the persistent definition was modified it would be overwritten. As there is no clear fix which would improve both styles of migrations with no corner cases revert the change. Upcoming commits will modify the documentation to add warning about the use of VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST with VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_XML/xmlin without using VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_PERSIST_XML instead of a code fix.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
