The host (KVM hypervisor) is 16.04.
So you suggest to install newer UCA qemu on the hypervisors.
That is something I have to decline today. Those hosts are runnung some more 
VMs. So to update the hypervisors I need a service window aggreed with my 
customers. And I have to stay on a kind of supported mainstream level, no 
experimental stuff.
Until then I can do some tests with some guest VMs.
Or someone other has a test environment where he/she can play also with the 
hypervisors. As I mentioned: the problem is reproducible !

----------

So now I did another test with a 16.04 guest. The problem gets worse,
but maybe it helps in catching the bug.

I did a new installation of a VM with Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, kernel 
4.4.0-131-generic #157-Ubuntu SMP.
Live migration succeeded.
Then I installed linux-generic-hwe-16.04.
The system booted with kernel 4.15.0-29-generic #31~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP.
And live migration failed:
# virsh migrate --persistent --live p8lnxtst1 qemu+ssh://pkvm1/system
error: internal error: early end of file from monitor, possible problem:

2018-07-30T14:13:34.381806Z qemu-system-ppc64: load of migration failed:

It is still very reproducible!

This means the new hwe kernel introduced the problem !!! Or it is just not 
compatible with 4.4.0-130-generic of the KVM hypervisor.
BTW, no entry in the /var/log/libvirt/qemu log files regarding the migration 
attempts. Any other log or trace files I could look for or activate?
