IMHO I like hotplug messages to be printed on screen while using xl
create/destroy... But for migration it should be redirected to /dev/null
or some suitable logfile I guess.

Or maybe a more canonical way to deal with this would be to always
redirect the output of hotplug scripts to a temp file, and in case of
not doing a migration print the contents of the file after executing the
hotplug script.
