for a cold migration the allcoation will be associated with a migration object
for evacuate which is basically a rebuild to a different host we do not have a
migration object so the consumer uuid for the allcotion are still associated with
the instace uuid not a migration uuid. so technically we can tell yes
but only if we pull back the allcoation form placmenet and then iterate over
them and check if we have a migration object or an instance that has the same
uuid.

in the evac case we shoudl also be able to tell that its an evac as the uuid will
match an instance but the instnace host will not match the RP name the allcoation is
associated with.

so we can figure this out on the nova side by looking at either the instances table
or migrations table

or in the futrue when we have consumer types in placement that will
also make this simplete to do as the info will be in the allocation itself.

personally i like option 2  but yes we could selectivly force for evac only if we wanted.
