Public bug reported:

QEMU/KVM is able to pause instance during live migration. This operation
does not abort live migration process - VM is paused on source host and
after successful live migration VM is back online on destination host
(hypervisor automatically starts VM).

In current approach in nova there is no way to do anything with VM that
is being live migrated, even when the process will take ages (or in the
worst case scenario - will never end). To address this issue nova should
be able to pause instances during live migration operation.
