Hmm, apart from letting QEMU orchestrate the migration step by step, no.

We could merge the SYNC and the SAVE_EQ_PAGES in a single KVM operation. 
I think that should be fine. 

However, it does not make sense to call this operation without the VM 
being stopped. I wonder how this can checked from KVM. May be we can't.
