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.

After the next patch, each vmstate field will extract parts of a larger

While changing this, change the macros to accept the index of the first

of elements (which is always CPU_NB_REGS).

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
migration.

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.
