FWIW, this patch makes '--no-migration' an 'ultimate big hammer' so not
matter how many blockers are there, the output will look like:
(qemu) info migrate
globals:
store-global-state: on
only-migratable: off
send-configuration: on
send-section-footer: on
decompress-error-check: on
clear-bitmap-shift: 18
Outgoing migration blocked:
Guest is not migratable ('--no-migration' used)
