There's migration regression in 10.0.4 & 10.0.5 releases, which is supposed to be fixed in 10.0.6. Unfortunately, the fixes are reverts of 2 other fixes (fixes which turned out to break migration), so 10.0.6 will have 2 bugs back. The 2 bugs which are fixed in 10.0.4 and for which the fixes are being reverted in 10.0.6 are:

- https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/3061
- https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/3001

Unfortunately it does not seem to be possible to fix these bugs without breaking migration.
