Hmm. I believe total has always been updated and when watching a live
migration, one would see a progress (dataProcess / dataTotal * 100)
which looks like
0% ... 100% ... 70% ... 100% ... 90% ... 100%
Either I'm totally wrong or the documentation does not describe reality.
There's definitely something to be fixed here :-) I'll try to dig into
it.

Exactly, when memory migration completes we need to wait for all mirror
jobs to finish to make sure all disk blocks changed on the source are
transferred to the destination. And we need to count these last moment
transfers too.
