I'm happy for it to go via block but also happy for it to go via
migration; Juan is mostly doing the migration set at the moment since
they're dominated by his cleanups.

Hmm, it looks suspicious in the opposite direction; it never sets
mis->from_src_file as was added by b4b076da into the load_snapshot path.

I don't think there's a problem in the postcopy path, although hmm was
