Send a patch and explain in its commit message *why* this is needed.

Hell yeah!

How do you expect us to support use cases we don't know about?!

I have no clue what you're talking about but it sounds like
a misunderstanding. All I'm saying is, the live migration use cases the
kernel should support, should be documented first. If there's no
documentation for them, *then* you have hypothetical.

So patches explaining what we're supporting are welcome.
