Tunnelled migration uses the old block-migration.c code.  Non-tunnelled
migration uses the NBD server and block/mirror.c.  The main problem with
the old code is that uses a possibly unbounded amount of memory in
mig_save_device_dirty and can have huge jitter if any serious workload
is running in the guest.
