Libvirt checks if it's migrating to same host by comparing the hostname,
I'm wondering if we can add some flag to switch the checking on/off,
(probally a new property in qemu.conf?), so that one can test the migration
on same host just for development purpose.
It isn't as simple as just removing the check, because libvirt also
checks other things like name+uuid uniqueness for the VMs. Also you
run the risk of deadlocking libvirtd itself
