Since we switched from direct host migration scheme to the one,
where we connect to the destination and then just pass a FD to a
qemu, we have uncovered a qemu bug. Qemu expects migration FD to
block. However, we are passing a nonblocking one which results in
cryptic error messages like:
qemu: warning: error while loading state section id 2
load of migration failed
The bug is already known to Qemu folks, but we should workaround
already released Qemus. Patch has been originally proposed by Stefan
Hajnoczi <stefanha(a)gmail.com>
