The migration of storage using the qemu migration stream is not
supported by qemu when -blockdev is used. Since we can only transport
one stream when migrating with '-tunelled', it's no longer possible to
combine those two. Unfortunately automagic block migration was deemed a
legacy feature.

I presume those are my commits which fix the NBD migration though.
Unfortunately they can't fix the old one.

NBD should be used nowadays. The old style storage migration was
neglected for a very long time now.
