Here params is the pointer to "struct MigrationParameters", which is
defined in qapi/migration.json.  And we have had "has_*" only because we
allow optional fields with asterisks:

  { 'struct': 'MigrationParameters',
    'data': { '*announce-initial': 'size',
              ...
              } }

So that's why it better only means "whether this field existed", because
it's how it is defined.

IIRC we (or say, Markus) used to have some attempts deduplicates those
*MigrationParameter* things, and if success we have chance to drop has_*
fields (in which case we simply always have them; that "has_" makes more
sense only if in a QMP session to allow user only specify one or more
things if not all).

Oh I perhaps commented on the wrong line.  migrate_params_check() is the
place where we should throw such error and check for O_DIRECT for sure..

Nah, I think I just wanted to comment inside migrate_params_check() but I
did it all wrong, sorry.
