This was initially motivated by a KubeVirt issue[1] concerning integration with the Portworx storage provide, but it turns out to be more generally applicable: since mounting an NFS share on the same host that is exporting it is known to cause issues and is therefore not recommended, we need a way to allow migration in such a configuration while still not going quite as far as VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE does and losing all handrails.

but please add some wording being more explicit about the need for the storage to be still shared. While it's implied in all places users tend to ignore any non-obvious messaging.
I don't think we should be adding this flag, but instead provide a way for an host admin to express to libvirt which local paths are exported to other hosts and also detect this from /etc/exports where available.
