Actually, qemu may save us - they are agreeing that this is a problem,
and will probably have a patch before libvirt 0.9.12 that allows
block-job-set-speed to be called prior to block-stream or drive-mirror;
at which point the correct fix is to then try to set the speed _prior_
to starting the job (but only when we know we are talking to qemu 1.1,
not RHEL 6.2).  It would leave RHEL 6.2 with the race, but oh well.
