The 'compress' migration capability enables the old compression code
which has shown issues over the years and is thought to be less stable
and tested than the more recent multifd-based compression. The old
compression code has been deprecated in 8.2 and now is time to remove
it.

Now we do set MIGRATION_FAILED state, but don't give a chance to

Let's provide a possibility for QMP-based orchestrators to get an error
like with outgoing migration.
For hmp_migrate_incoming(), let's enable the new behavior: HMP is not

not to stop the process.
For x-exit-preconfig, let's keep the old behavior:
- it's called from init(), so here we want to keep current behavior by
default
- it does exit on error by itself as well
So, if we want to change the behavior of x-exit-preconfig, it should be

Add a new migration capability 'mapped-ram'.
The core of the feature is to ensure that RAM pages are mapped
directly to offsets in the resulting migration file instead of being
streamed at arbitrary points.
The reasons why we'd want such behavior are:
- The resulting file will have a bounded size, since pages which are
dirtied multiple times will always go to a fixed location in the
file, rather than constantly being added to a sequential
stream. This eliminates cases where a VM with, say, 1G of RAM can
result in a migration file that's 10s of GBs, provided that the
workload constantly redirties memory.
- It paves the way to implement O_DIRECT-enabled save/restore of the
migration stream as the pages are ensured to be written at aligned
offsets.
- It allows the usage of multifd so we can write RAM pages to the
migration file in parallel.
For now, enabling the capability has no effect. The next couple of
patches implement the core functionality.

This patch introduces well defined MigrateAddress struct
and its related child objects.
The existing argument of 'migrate' and 'migrate-incoming' QAPI
- 'uri' is of type string. The current implementation follows
double encoding scheme for fetching migration parameters like
'uri' and this is not an ideal design.
Motive for intoducing struct level design is to prevent double
encoding of QAPI arguments, as Qemu should be able to directly
use the QAPI arguments without any level of encoding.
Note: this commit only adds the type, and actual uses comes
in later commits.

does not block the migration, but the caller must not modify guest block
devices between the quit and restart. To avoid saving guest RAM to the
file, the memory backend must be shared, and the @x-ignore-shared migration
capability must be set. Guest RAM must be non-volatile across reboot, such
as by backing it with a dax device, but this is not enforced. The restarted
qemu arguments must match those used to initially start qemu, plus the

Migration bandwidth is a very important value to live migration. It's
because it's one of the major factors that we'll make decision on when to
switchover to destination in a precopy process.
This value is currently estimated by QEMU during the whole live migration
process by monitoring how fast we were sending the data. This can be the
most accurate bandwidth if in the ideal world, where we're always feeding
unlimited data to the migration channel, and then it'll be limited to the
bandwidth that is available.
However in reality it may be very different, e.g., over a 10Gbps network we
can see query-migrate showing migration bandwidth of only a few tens of
MB/s just because there are plenty of other things the migration thread
might be doing. For example, the migration thread can be busy scanning
zero pages, or it can be fetching dirty bitmap from other external dirty
sources (like vhost or KVM). It means we may not be pushing data as much
as possible to migration channel, so the bandwidth estimated from "how many
data we sent in the channel" can be dramatically inaccurate sometimes.
With that, the decision to switchover will be affected, by assuming that we
may not be able to switchover at all with such a low bandwidth, but in
reality we can.
The migration may not even converge at all with the downtime specified,
with that wrong estimation of bandwidth, keeping iterations forever with a
low estimation of bandwidth.
The issue is QEMU itself may not be able to avoid those uncertainties on
measuing the real "available migration bandwidth". At least not something
I can think of so far.
One way to fix this is when the user is fully aware of the available
bandwidth, then we can allow the user to help providing an accurate value.
For example, if the user has a dedicated channel of 10Gbps for migration
for this specific VM, the user can specify this bandwidth so QEMU can
always do the calculation based on this fact, trusting the user as long as
specified. It may not be the exact bandwidth when switching over (in which
case qemu will push migration data as fast as possible), but much better
than QEMU trying to wildly guess, especially when very wrong.
A new parameter "avail-switchover-bandwidth" is introduced just for this.
So when the user specified this parameter, instead of trusting the
estimated value from QEMU itself (based on the QEMUFile send speed), it
trusts the user more by using this value to decide when to switchover,
assuming that we'll have such bandwidth available then.
Note that specifying this value will not throttle the bandwidth for
switchover yet, so QEMU will always use the full bandwidth possible for
sending switchover data, assuming that should always be the most important
way to use the network at that time.
This can resolve issues like "unconvergence migration" which is caused by
hilarious low "migration bandwidth" detected for whatever reason.

Currently query-dirty-rate uses QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME as

clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC), i.e. number of seconds

check whether previously completed measurements are
too old or not. But this makes sense only if start-time
