Yes, I think need to attach it as a blockdev first. But for 'restart'
migration, it should be fine to start out with NBD and migrate
non-attached disks with our current method. If we (later) want to add
logic for migrating non-attached disks via storage-daemon we can always
do that too and switch storage_migrate() to use that (maybe not
unconditionally, ZFS -> ZFS still makes more sense to do with send/recv
for example).
