Not so, if you are using KVM then block migration is also an option, and it
seems to be documented in the trunk docs now too. See:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/configuring-migrations.html

The note about compatible XenServer hypervisors might be a little confusing
- it does not mean block migration only works with specific versions of
Xen, it means for it to work with Xen your Xen must support "Storage
XenMotion".
