I asked to have that.  My suggestion was that

migrate_set_capability auto-throotle on

So we could add it to new variables without extra change.

And I agree that having a way to read them, and ask what values they
have is a good idea.

Luiz, any good idea about how to do it through QMP?

Having the migration changes is easy, the problem is knowing how we want
them.

Later, Juan.
