Block migration is too inflexible. It needs to migrate all block
devices or none. Use driver_mirror+NBD instead.
+old compression method (since 8.1)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

+Compression method fails too much. Too many races. We are going to
+remove it if nobody fixes it. For starters, migration-test
+compression tests are disabled becase they hand randomly. If you need
+compression, use multifd compression methods.
