We currently only need to clear the mapped-ram file bitmap from the

We're about to add support for zero page detection on the multifd
thread, so allow ramblock_set_file_bmap_atomic() to also clear the
bits.

The new mapped-ram stream format uses a file transport and puts ram
pages in the migration file at their respective offsets and can be
done in parallel by using the pwritev system call which takes iovecs
and an offset.
Add support to enabling the new format along with multifd to make use
of the threading and page handling already in place.
This requires multifd to stop sending headers and leaving the stream
format to the mapped-ram code. When it comes time to write the data, we
need to call a version of qio_channel_write that can take an offset.
Usage on HMP is:
(qemu) stop
(qemu) migrate_set_capability multifd on
(qemu) migrate_set_capability mapped-ram on
(qemu) migrate_set_parameter max-bandwidth 0
(qemu) migrate_set_parameter multifd-channels 8
(qemu) migrate file:migfile

rp_state.error was a boolean used to show error happened in return path
thread. That's not only duplicating error reporting (migrate_set_error),
but also not good enough in that we only do error_report() and set it to
true, we never can keep a history of the exact error and show it in
query-migrate.
To make this better, a few things done:
- Use error_setg() rather than error_report() across the whole lifecycle
of return path thread, keeping the error in an Error*.
- With above, no need to have mark_source_rp_bad(), remove it, alongside
with rp_state.error itself.
- Use migrate_set_error() to apply that captured error to the global
migration object when error occured in this thread.
- Do the same when detected qemufile error in source return path
We need to re-export qemu_file_get_error_obj() to do the last one.

Currently, when someone (i.e., the VM) accesses discarded parts inside a
RAMBlock with a RamDiscardManager managing the corresponding mapped memory
region, postcopy will request migration of the corresponding page from the
source. The source, however, will never answer, because it refuses to
migrate such pages with undefined content ("logically unplugged"): the
pages are never dirty, and get_queued_page() will consequently skip
processing these postcopy requests.
Especially reading discarded ("logically unplugged") ranges is supposed to
work in some setups (for example with current virtio-mem), although it
barely ever happens: still, not placing a page would currently stall the
VM, as it cannot make forward progress.
Let's check the state via the RamDiscardManager (the state e.g.,
of virtio-mem is migrated during precopy) and avoid sending a request
that will never get answered. Place a fresh zero page instead to keep
the VM working. This is the same behavior that would happen
automatically without userfaultfd being active, when accessing virtual
memory regions without populated pages -- "populate on demand".
For now, there are valid cases (as documented in the virtio-mem spec) where
a VM might read discarded memory; in the future, we will disallow that.
Then, we might want to handle that case differently, e.g., warning the
user that the VM seems to be mis-behaving.

In this particular implementation the same single migration
thread is responsible for both normal linear dirty page
migration and procesing UFFD page fault events.
Processing write faults includes reading UFFD file descriptor,
finding respective RAM block and saving faulting page to
the migration stream. After page has been saved, write protection
can be removed. Since asynchronous version of qemu_put_buffer()
is expected to be used to save pages, we also have to flush
migraion stream prior to un-protecting saved memory range.
Write protection is being removed for any previously protected
memory chunk that has hit the migration stream. That's valid
for pages from linear page scan along with write fault pages.

We should not load PVM's state directly into SVM, because there maybe some
errors happen when SVM is receving data, which will break SVM.
We need to ensure receving all data before load the state into SVM. We use
an extra memory to cache these data (PVM's ram). The ram cache in secondary side
is initially the same as SVM/PVM's memory. And in the process of checkpoint,
we cache the dirty pages of PVM into this ram cache firstly, so this ram cache
always the same as PVM's memory at every checkpoint, then we flush this cached ram
to SVM after we receive all PVM's state.

This is the reply message of MIG_CMD_RECV_BITMAP, it contains not only
the header (including the ramblock name), and it was appended with the
whole ramblock received bitmap on the destination side.
When the source receives such a reply message (MIG_RP_MSG_RECV_BITMAP),
it parses it, convert it to the dirty bitmap by inverting the bits.
One thing to mention is that, when we send the recv bitmap, we are doing
these things in extra:
- converting the bitmap to little endian, to support when hosts are
using different endianess on src/dst.
- do proper alignment for 8 bytes, to support when hosts are using
different word size (32/64 bits) on src/dst.
