This includes a new section that for now just stores the current qemu state.
Right now, there are only one way to control what is the state of the
target after migration.
- If you run the target qemu with -S, it would start stopped.
- If you run the target qemu without -S, it would run just after migration finishes.
The problem here is what happens if we start the target without -S and
there happens one error during migration that puts current state as
-EIO. Migration would ends (notice that the error happend doing block
IO, network IO, i.e. nothing related with migration), and when
migration finish, we would just "continue" running on destination,
probably hanging the guest/corruption data, whatever.

Badly formatted migration streams can go undetected or produce
misleading errors due to a lock of checking at the end of sections.
In particular a section that adds an extra 0x00 at the end
causes what looks like a normal end of stream and thus doesn't produce
any errors, and something that ends in a 0x01..0x04 kind of look
like real section headers and then fail when the section parser tries
to figure out which section they are. This is made worse by the
choice of 0x00..0x04 being small numbers that are particularly common
in normal section data.
This patch adds a section footer consisting of a marker (0x7e - ~)
followed by the section-id that was also sent in the header. If
they mismatch then it throws an error explaining which section was
being loaded.

One of the annoyances of the current migration format is the fact that
it's not self-describing. In fact, it's not properly describing at all.
Some code randomly scattered throughout QEMU elaborates roughly how to
read and write a stream of bytes.
We discussed an idea during KVM Forum 2013 to add a JSON description of
the migration protocol itself to the migration stream. This patch
adds a section after the VM_END migration end marker that contains
description data on what the device sections of the stream are composed of.
This approach is backwards compatible with any QEMU version reading the
stream, because QEMU just stops reading after the VM_END marker and ignores
any data following it.
With an additional external program this allows us to decipher the
contents of any migration stream and hopefully make migration bugs easier
to track down.

For ftell we flush the output buffer to ensure that we don't have anything
lingering in our internal buffers. This is a very safe thing to do.
However, with the dynamic size measurement that the dynamic vmstate
description will bring this would turn out quite slow.
Instead, we can fast path this specific measurement and just take the
internal buffers into account when telling the kernel our position.
I'm sure I overlooked some corner cases where this doesn't work, so
instead of tuning the safe, existing version, this patch adds a fast
variant of ftell that gets used by the dynamic vmstate description code
which isn't critical when it fails.

There are few helpers already to support array migration. However they all
require the destination side to preallocate arrays before migration which
is not always possible due to unknown array size as it might be some
sort of dynamic state. One of the examples is an array of MSIX-enabled
devices in SPAPR PHB - this array may vary from 0 to 65536 entries and
its size depends on guest's ability to enable MSIX or do PCI hotplug.
This adds new VMSTATE_VARRAY_STRUCT_ALLOC macro which is pretty similar to
VMSTATE_STRUCT_VARRAY_POINTER_INT32 but it can alloc memory for migratign
array on the destination side.
This defines VMS_ALLOC flag for a field.
This changes vmstate_base_addr() to do the allocation when receiving

This capability allows you to disable dynamic chunk registration
for better throughput on high-performance links.
For example, using an 8GB RAM virtual machine with all 8GB of memory in
active use and the VM itself is completely idle using a 40 gbps infiniband link:
1. x-rdma-pin-all disabled total time: approximately 7.5 seconds @ 9.5 Gbps
2. x-rdma-pin-all enabled total time: approximately 4 seconds @ 26 Gbps
These numbers would of course scale up to whatever size virtual machine
you have to migrate using RDMA.
Enabling this feature does *not* have any measurable affect on
migration *downtime*. This is because, without this feature, all of the
memory will have already been registered already in advance during
the bulk round and does not need to be re-registered during the successive
iteration rounds.

These are the prototypes and implementation of new hooks that
RDMA takes advantage of to perform dynamic page registration.
An optional hook is also introduced for a custom function
to be able to override the default save_page function.
Also included are the prototypes and accessor methods used by
arch_init.c which invoke funtions inside savevm.c to call out
to the hooks that may or may not have been overridden
inside of QEMUFileOps.

RDMA writes happen asynchronously, and thus the performance accounting
also needs to be able to occur asynchronously. This allows anybody

the RDMA transfer actually completes.

This makes it possible to do blocking writes directly to the socket,
with no buffer in the middle. For RAM, only the migration_bitmap_sync()
call needs the iothread lock. For block migration, it is needed by
the block layer (including bdrv_drain_all and dirty bitmap access),
but because some code is shared between iterate and complete, all of
mig_save_device_dirty is run with the lock taken.
In the savevm case, the iterate callback runs within the big lock.
This is annoying because it complicates the rules. Luckily we do not
need to do anything about it: the RAM iterate callback does not need
the iothread lock, and block migration never runs during savevm.

Right now, migration cannot entirely rely on QEMUFile's automatic
drop of I/O after an error, because it does its "real" I/O outside
the put_buffer callback. To fix this until buffering is gone, expose
qemu_file_set_error which we will use in buffered_flush.
Similarly, buffered_flush is not a complete flush because some data may
still reside in the QEMUFile's own buffer. This somewhat complicates the
process of closing the migration thread. Again, when buffering is gone
buffered_flush will disappear and calling qemu_fflush will not be needed;
in the meanwhile, we expose the function for use in migration.c.
