What are the semantics of this value?  I imagine it has to do with the rate of
transferring dirty pages and deciding when to suspend the machine to perform
the final steps of migration.

Is there a need to query this value, too?  The ability to set the value is
probably enough, I can't think of a situation where you need to query it rather
than just setting a new value.

Can this value be changed once migration is in progress?
