The loading of a device state (during postcopy) may access guest
memory that's still on the source machine and thus might need
a page fill; split off a separate thread that handles the incoming
page data so that the original incoming migration code can finish
off the device data.

userfaultfd is a Linux syscall that gives an fd that receives a stream
of notifications of accesses to pages registered with it and allows
the program to acknowledge those stalls and tell the accessing
thread to carry on.
We convert the requests from the kernel into messages back to the

RAMBlocks that are not a multiple of host pages in length
cause problems for postcopy (I've seen an ACPI table on aarch64
be 5k in length - i.e. 5x target-page), so round RAMBlock sizes
up to a host-page.
This potentially breaks migration compatibility due to changes
in RAMBlock sizes; however:
1) x86 and s390 I think always have host=target page size
2) When I've tried on Power the block sizes already seem aligned.
3) I don't think there's anything else that maintains per-version
machine-types for compatibility.

Once we're in postcopy the source processors are stopped and memory
shouldn't change any more, so there's no need to look at the dirty

There are two notes to this:
1) If we do resync and a page had changed then the page would get
sent again, which the destination wouldn't allow (since it might
have also modified the page)
2) Before disabling this I'd seen very rare cases where a page had been
marked dirtied although the memory contents are apparently identical

When transmitting RAM pages, consume pages that have been queued by
MIG_RPCOMM_REQPAGE commands and send them ahead of normal page scanning.
Note:
a) After a queued page the linear walk carries on from after the
unqueued page; there is a reasonable chance that the destination
was about to ask for other closeby pages anyway.
b) We have to be careful of any assumptions that the page walking
code makes, in particular it does some short cuts on its first linear
walk that break as soon as we do a queued page.
c) We have to be careful to not break up host-page size chunks, since
this makes it harder to place the pages on the destination.
