Why not? When doing a live migration to file, the same sector of memory
can be visited more than once in the migration stream, and thus
compressing the later pages should make the saved file smaller. I'm not
sure I buy this argument of XBZRLE being incompatible with migration to
file, at least without not more explanation why it fails.
