Security issue fixed:
- CVE-2018-20815: Fixed a heap buffer overflow while loading device tree blob (bsc#1130680)
Other fixes:
- Added code to change LIBXL_HOTPLUG_TIMEOUT at runtime.
The included README has details about the impact of this change (bsc#1120095)
- Fixes in Live migrating PV domUs
An earlier change broke live migration of PV domUs without a device model. The migration would stall for 10 seconds while the domU was paused, which caused network connections to drop. Fix this by tracking the need for a device model within libxl. (bsc#1079730, bsc#1098403, bsc#1111025)
