Bug Description

As of libvirt 1.2.9, the maximum downtime for a live migration is tunable during a migration, so it doesn't require any threading foolishness. We should make this configurable in nova.conf so that large instances can be migrated across relatively smaller network pipes.

Probably better just to submit a blueprint for this (might qualify as trivial so not need a spec).

Reason: Actually, it occurs to me that admins can just use the live_migration_flag to set this themselves. No patch necessary. Yay!
