This is really reflecting the host driver capabilities as a whole, rather
than whether it will succeed for a particular VM. The libvirt driver
supports migrate, but certain QEMU binaries may not, in which case the
app would get an appropriate error message later when invoking the API.
You can have multiple QEMU binaries with different capabilies on the
same host, so we can't accurately represent that here.
