I only skimmed through this series, so only a few high level notes:

The series is supposed to successfully compile after each patch, which
means you need to shuffle the code between patches a bit. The public
API, RPC protocol, and driver-hypervisor.h changes should go first. The
two additional patches can go in any order, either qemu implementation
first followed by virsh changes or you can change virsh first. However,
migrate-getmaxdowntime is a virsh command, the patch subjects should
really talk about the API name instead. So, for example:

    1/3 Add virDomainMigrateGetMaxDowntime public API
    2/3 qemu: Implement virDomainMigrateGetMaxDowntime
    3/3 virsh: Add support for virDomainMigrateGetMaxDowntime

In the qemu driver we already have a monitor API for querying migration
parameters (qemuMonitorJSONGetMigrationParams) and we should extend it
to support downtime-limit rather than adding a new monitor API.
