Hi Jay,
Is this actually increasing the real downtime when the guest isn't
running, or is it just the reported time? I see that the s->downtime
value is calculated right after where we currently call
qemu_savevm_state_cleanup.
I guess the biggest problem is that 300ms happens before we restart
the guest on the source if a migration fails.

I don't like putting it in qmp_cont; that shouldn't have migration magic
in it.
I guess we could put it in migrate_fd_cleanup perhaps? It gets called on
a bh near the end - or could we just move it closer to the end of
migration_thread?
However, we would need to be a bit careful of anything that needs
cleaning up before the source restarts on failure; I'm not sure of
the semantics of all the current things wired into save_cleanup.
