I'm OK with dropping it for now (as we also have other possible issues
as you point out below), but I really wonder what would be a solution
here. Problem is that if a domain(s) reconfiguration happened while the
task was migrate disabled, and we let the reconf destroy/rebuild
domains, the old rd could be gone by the time the task gets migrate
enabled again and the task could continue running, w/o its bandwidth
been accounted for, in a new rd since the migrate enable instant, no?

Oh, yeah, that doesn't look good. :-(
Maybe we can use cancel_attach() to fix things up?
Thanks,
