Although the migrate command is blocking, there is nothing stopping you
from opening up a second connection to the same URI and tracking the
status of the migration through that second connection.  In fact, 'virsh
migrate' implements a --timeout option precisely by using two threads,
one polling the status in relation to the timeout, while the other
blocks in the migrate call.
