I don't think it is right to use staged migration in our case.

If we use perform phase to do actual migration and prepare phase to pass a vz
session token from destination to source we break implicitly defined perform 
phase meaning (see virDomainMigrateVersion3Full). At the end of this phase all
domain data is moved to destination but domain is not yet resumed there (this
is done on finish phase) and domain is not yet killed on source. In our case
both tasks would be alredy done at perform phase as vz sdk makes complete
migration. As a result we can get unexpected behavior, for example if finish
phase cannot be done due to connectivity problems we have overall migration
error and actual migration success which is odd.

Additionally i think i should rework this patchset to direct migration. As if 
we implement p2p scheme this means that managed scheme can be implemented as
well which is not true.
