The qemu migration speed default is 32MiB/s as defined in migration.c
/* Migration speed throttling */
static int64_t max_throttle = (32<< 20);
Too bad it's not publicly exposed in a header file, in case it ever changes.
There is no reason to throttle migration when targeting a file. For
dump and save operations, set migration speed to unlimited prior to
migration and restore to default value after migration. Default units
is MB for migrate_set_speed monitor command, so (INT64_MAX / (1024 * 1024))
is used for unlimited migration speed.
Tested with both json and text monitors.

This part is now fine.

If we keep this hunk, I'd like to see this magic number as a #define
earlier in the file, with the same justification as you gave in your
commit comment about where it comes from (32Mbps in qemu's migration.c),
so it becomes easier to replace the number and/or consistently use it
elsewhere in the code if qemu ever changes.

I was first worried that this part means we have more issues. That is,
the user can independently call virDomainMigrateSetMaxSpeed, and it
seems like we should revert back to that value, rather than to the qemu
default. But on further thought - guess what? After you complete
migration to a file, the qemu process is (supposed to have) ended!
There's no reason to restore migration speed after this point, because
there's nothing further you can do with the qemu process; once the
domain is later restored from the save file, you have created a new qemu
process which is once again back at the default migration speed. That
means we can effectively drop this hunk with no change in behavior.
Meanwhile, it raises independent issues - why do we have a write-only
interface in virDomainMigrateSetMaxSpeed? Shouldn't we also be able to
query the speed currently in use, and shouldn't the domain XML track the
current migration speed?
