I don't think we can realistically remove it.  In my mind, what 
deprecate means with respect to QMP is that we never add additional 
features to the deprecated commands.

Right now, 'migrate', 'info migrate', and MIGRATE_DONE do not provide 
very rich error reporting.  They really just provide a boolean 
failed/succeeded.

For 0.14, we'll have to introduce a 'migrate2' command and deprecate the 
old 'migrate' command.  'migrate2' will provide rich error reporting and 
all new features will be added to 'migrate2'.

BTW, I lack any kind of naming creativity so 'migrate2' is not 
necessarily what it ought to be called.
