I think setting the "recommended" bits to be best for the host where the VM is first started should always be ok. When it migrates to a different host, performance may not be optimal but otherwise it will work just fine. After all, non-optimal performance is not different from the current situation. It's important not to change the "supported" bits dynamically, though. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
