This triggers a premature call to migrate_get_current():

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -only-migratable
  qemu-system-x86_64: 
/home/ehabkost/rh/proj/virt/qemu/migration/migration.c:127: 
migrate_get_current: Assertion `current_migration' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)

What about just doing:

    qemu_global_option("migration.only-migratable=true");
