Just one comment, it would be good to mention in the commit message the 
call chain.  The one that Eduardo had tracked offlist looks indeed 
correct to me:

select loop -> migrate_fd_put_notify() -> qemu_file_put_notify() -> 
buffered_put_buffer() -> migrate_fd_put_ready() -> 
migrate_fd_completed() -> migrate_fd_cleanup().
