I think live migration should probably just be a second attachment - during
the migration you have two attachments, then you detach the first.  I think
this is correct because as far as Cinder and the storage is concerned,
there are two attachments.  I think most of this mess started because we
were trying to make the volume status reflect the status in Cinder and
Nova.  If the status reflects only Cinder's (and the storage backends')
status, things because simpler.  (Might need to pass an extra flag on the
second attach to over-ride any "no multiattach" policies that exist.)
