1) It's required for tcp:// migration in QEMU/KVM

2) Xen is insane for allowing arbitrary incoming migrations from 
anywhere.  When the Xen migration model is made more sane, you'll 
probably be forced to tell a destination node that it should accept an 
incoming migration for a particular domain.
