Can you explain this?

I would have though the order is

     precopy RAM and everything
     prepare postcopy RAM ("sent && dirty" bitmap)
     finish precopy non-RAM
     finish devices
     postcopy RAM

Why do you need to have all the packaging stuff and a separate 
memory-based migration stream for devices?  I'm sure I'm missing 
something. :)
