Description
The following patch adds a resched command to onevm. This puts an active/running VM into resched/running state. On the next scheduler cycle, the scheduler will find a new host and live-migrate the VM. This is similar to the resubmit action but is non-destructive.
It provides a quick way to live-migrate VMs without having to think about destination host as the scheduler will make that decision based on the same scheduler rules that initially placed the VM. It would also be useful for a separate component that monitors host usage and reschedules VMs when thresholds are exceeded.
The patch is against 3.4.0. It would be great if this patch (not necessarily as submitted) was included in future releases.

We've implemented this using a flag for the VMs to not add more states and transitions to the life-cycle state machine. The scheduler then gets VMs in pending state and those running with the rescheduling flag set. I was able to reuse part of your patch :)
The development is almost done. I want to do some more testing and set the type of migration (live or cold) in the scheduler configuration file. Then we can merge it to master.
Thanks for contributing this!
