Could you elaborate more on this?  During a volume migration operation
we give the driver an opportunity to more-intelligently relocate the
volume's data.  This is done through the migrate_volume() method defined
in the driver itself.  If this method exists, it will be called before
falling back to a byte-for-byte copy approach - and if it succeeds the
volume is considered migrated and the operation returns.

Is this what you were looking for, or did you have something different
in mind?
