+# @cpr-exec: The migrate command stops the VM, saves state to the
+#     migration channel, directly exec's a new version of QEMU on the
+#     same host, replacing the original process while retaining its
+#     PID, and loads state from the channel.  Guest RAM is preserved
+#     in place.  Devices and their pinned pages are also preserved for
+#     VFIO and IOMMUFD.
+#
+#     Old QEMU starts new QEMU by exec'ing the command specified by
+#     the @cpr-exec-command parameter.  The command may be a direct
+#     invocation of new QEMU, or may be a wrapper that exec's the new
+#     QEMU binary.
+#
+#     Because old QEMU terminates when new QEMU starts, one cannot
+#     stream data between the two, so the channel must be a type,
+#     such as a file, that accepts all data before old QEMU exits.
+#     Otherwise, old QEMU may quietly block writing to the channel.
+#
+#     Memory-backend objects must have the share=on attribute, but
+#     memory-backend-epc is not supported.  The VM must be started
+#     with the '-machine aux-ram-share=on' option.
