This patch introduces block migration called during live migration. Block
are being copied to the destination in an async way. First the code will
transfer the whole disk and then transfer all dirty blocks accumulted during
the migration.
Still need to improve transition from the iterative phase of migration to the
end phase. For now transition will take place when all blocks transfered once,
all the dirty blocks will be transfered during the end phase (guest is
suspended).
Changes from v4:
- Global variabels moved to a global state structure allocated dynamically.
- Minor coding style issues.
- Poll block.c for tracking of dirty blocks instead of manage it here.

When creating a snapshot we can run into the situation that the first disk
doesn't have a snapshot, but the second one does have one with the same name as
the new snapshot.
In this case, qemu doesn't recognize that there is a snapshot to be
overwritten, so it starts to save the new snapshot and errors out later when it
tries to snapshot the second image. With this patch, snapshots on secondary
images are overwritten just like on the first image.

Use qemu_send_packet_raw to send gratuitous arp. This will ensure that
vnet header is handled properly.
Also, avoid sending the gratuitous packet to the guest. There doesn't
appear to be any reason for doing that and the code will currently just
crash if the NIC is not associated with a vlan.

Currently, after a migration qemu sends a broadcast packet to update
switches' MAC->port mappings.
Unfortunately, it picks a random (constant) ethertype and crosses its
fingers that no one else is using it.
This patch causes it to send a RARP packet instead. RARP was chosen for
2 reasons. One, it is always harmless, and will continue to be so even
as new ethertypes are allocated. Two, it is what VMware ESX sends, so
people who write filtering rules for switches already know about it.
I also changed the code to send SELF_ANNOUNCE_ROUNDS packets, instead of
SELF_ANNOUNCE_ROUNDS + 1, and added a simple backoff scheme.

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc923584,
f40d753718,
96555a96d7 and
3990d09adf but the fixes were fragile.
Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the
file. Revert the previous hacks.

In previosu series I remove v2 support for RAM (that was the version that was
supported when SaveVM v3 appeared). Now we can't load RAM for any image saved in SaveVM v2, we can as well remove SaveVM v2 entirely.
Note: That SaveVM RAM was at v2 when General SaveVM support went from v2 to v3 makes talking about versions confusing at least

This patch introduces VMState infrastructure, to convert the save/load
functions of devices to a table approach. This new approach has the
following advantages:
- it is type-safe
- you can't have load/save functions out of sync
- will allows us to have new interesting commands, like dump <device>, that
shows all its internal state.
- Just now, the only added type is arrays, but we can add structures.
- Uses old load_state() function for loading old state.

First step cleaning up the drives handling. This one does nothing but
removing drives_table[], still it became seriously big.
drive_get_index() is gone and is replaced by drives_get() which hands
out DriveInfo pointers instead of a table index. This needs adaption in
*tons* of places all over.
The drives are now maintained as linked list.

Hi,
Whoever wrote this migrate_set_speed function is totally stupid.
Any failed or completed migration keeps its state to allow probing of
migration data, but has no associated file anymore. It is, thus,
possible to crash qemu by calling migrate_set_speed after a migration
is finished (or failed, or cancelled), but before another one starts.
This patch fixes it.

The VM state offset is a concept internal to the image format. Replace
the old bdrv_{get,put}_buffer method that require an index into the
image file that is constructed from the VM state offset and an offset
into the vmstate with the bdrv_{load,save}_vmstate that just take an
offset into the VM state.
