Suggest monitoring the QEMU serial port for a specific token to know
when to initiate the migration. e.g. the guest can print
"MIGRATE_ME_NOW" when it's ready. This would avoid initiating a
migration too early.

Does "inject-nmi" work on other architectures?

An alternative approach is to add a new Qemu testdev register that
counts the number of times a VM has been migrated. The guest can
monitor this to know when the migration is complete.

There might be a way to initiate the migration (or at least a
save/restore cycle) from the testdev as well.
