[ale] Moving KVM from one host to another

[JD]

I do this all the time.

Dump the XML, move the vHDD, edit the XML for the new full-path-to-the-vHDD,
then "define" the new machine with the XML file and start the VM.

I have seen incompatibilities for Windows clientOS installs between 2010 and
2012 KVM servers, but for Linux VMs, it really is bonehead easy.
