If we have more than one live-migration occurring at a time, some will
fail. Basically the concluding handshake won't complete. It's not clear if
this is a contention issue, and issue in Juno (which has some
well-documented messaging problems), or something else.

These issues occur when trying to use l-m to evac a node (of say 8 VMs).
There really isn't a load consideration, it seems to solely be a messaging
issue.

Workarounds: we were able to work-around this issue by doing a single
live-migration at a time and ensuring it completes (is no longer marked as
migrating) prior to initiating the next one. Resolved our issue completely
but has the side-effect of taking a very long time. We have not bisected
the problem to see if we can do more than that or do each migration for a
given node singly but actually do more than one node at once. These are
exercises we will undertake very soon.
