Both your patch, and Hu Tao's patch[1] for migration cancellation
are touching the same piece of code, in incompatible ways. We
want to have both your feature and Hu Tao's feature, so I think
one of you needs to merge the others' patch, and post a resulting
combined patch.

I mentioned in this posting, one possible architecture which
could address both the migrate cancel feature, and the migrate
auto-suspend / timeout feature:

There may be other solutions too.
