Block migration is broken by design.  It will converge really slowly as
soon as you have real load in the VMs, and it will hamper the
convergence of RAM as well.

Hopefully a real alternative will be in 1.3 (based on drive-mirror on
the source + an embedded NBD server running on the destination), then in
1.4 we can reimplement the block migration monitor commands using the
alternative.
