Other fixes:

• Added code to change LIBXLHOTPLUGTIMEOUT at runtime.

  The included README has details about the impact of this change (bsc#1120095)

• Fixes in Live migrating PV domUs

  An earlier change broke live migration of PV domUs without a device model. The migration would stall for 10 seconds while the domU was paused, which caused network connections to drop. Fix this by tracking the need for a device model within libxl. (bsc#1079730, bsc#1098403, bsc#1111025)

• Libvirt segfault when crash triggered on top of HVM guest (bsc#1120067)
