[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] migration: Document handling of bdrv_is_allocated() errors

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

Migration is the only code left in the tree that does not react
to bdrv_is_allocated() failures.  But as there is no useful way
to react to the failure, and we are merely skipping unallocated
sectors on success, just document that our choice of handling
is intended.
