I'd have to think more about that (I mean, it obviously makes sense, the 
question is whether it breaks something ;))

but this is not just about unreferenced disks? I mean, this code runs 
for ALL disks returned by pve-storage. if pve-storage now filters, then 
this does not apply for the '"old == new" storage which has wrong content 
type' scenario, since this part of the code thinks there are no volumes 
there, so what I originally thought is broken is not,

but this would then mean that for referenced images, '"old != new" 
storage where both old and new storage have wrong content type' now 
suddenly works where it previously didn't? not because of this patch, 
but because of vdisk_list not returning those, thus skipping the check 
that is changed in this patch? oh, and shared storages with wrong 
content type also just work, but since we don't really touch volumes 
there anyway with migration that's probably fine..

IFF we want to say "wrong content type" is wrong and should make the VM 
unmigratable, we should probably move the check into test_volid so that 
it catches ALL volumes always..
