It's possible to query the currently active ones, as of 6.0; from my
commit 3af8554bd068576b0399087583df48518a2a98f6 it appears in the
output of query-migrate in the 'blocked-reasons' list.
The HMP equivalent is a64aec725ea0b26fa4e44f8b8b8c72be9aaa4230 showing:
(qemu) info migrate
globals:
store-global-state: on
only-migratable: off
send-configuration: on
send-section-footer: on
decompress-error-check: on
clear-bitmap-shift: 18
Outgoing migration blocked:
Migration is disabled when VirtFS export path '/home' is mounted in the guest using mount_tag 'fs'
non-migratable device: 0000:00:01.2/1/usb-serial
