You're using blocking I/O which will cause the guest to pause while disk 
I/O is happening.

If you want to see this in action, before running dump, type 
"migrate_set_rate 10G" in the monitor.  It only appears live now because 
the default rate limit is pretty close to the write speed of a typical disk.
