I think that once the mirror VM starts booting and running the UEFI

accesses and Debug Agent initialization stuff in SEC startup code.
That may be a design of the migration helper code that you were working
with, but it's not necessary.

Actually my comments are about a more generic MH code.

I don't think that would be a good idea; designing QEMU's migration helper interface to be as constrained as possible is a good thing. The migration helper is extremely security sensitive code, so it should not expose itself to the attack surface of the whole of QEMU.
