If a user chooses to turn on the auto-converge migration capability
these changes detect the lack of convergence and throttle down the
guest. i.e. force the VCPUs out of the guest for some duration
and let the migration thread catchup and help converge.
Verified the convergence using the following :
- Java Warehouse workload running on a 20VCPU/256G guest(~80% busy)
- OLTP like workload running on a 80VCPU/512G guest (~80% busy)
Sample results with Java warehouse workload : (migrate speed set to 20Gb and
migrate downtime set to 4seconds).

at the beginning of migration all pages are marked dirty and
in the first round a bulk migration of all pages is performed.
currently all these pages are copied to the page cache regardless
of whether they are frequently updated or not. this doesn't make sense
since most of these pages are never transferred again.
this patch changes the XBZRLE transfer to only be used after
the bulk stage has been completed. that means a page is added
to the page cache the second time it is transferred and XBZRLE
can benefit from the third time of transfer.
since the page cache is likely smaller than the number of pages
it's also likely that in the second round the page is missing in the
cache due to collisions in the bulk phase.
on the other hand a lot of unnecessary mallocs, memdups and frees
are saved.

the test program from docs/xbzrle.txt. (+) with the patch and (-)

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.

Code just now does (simplified for clarity)
if (qemu_savevm_state_iterate(s->file) == 1) {
vm_stop_force_state(RUN_STATE_FINISH_MIGRATE);
qemu_savevm_state_complete(s->file);
}
Problem here is that qemu_savevm_state_iterate() returns 1 when it
knows that remaining memory to sent takes less than max downtime.
But this means that we could end spending 2x max_downtime, one
downtime in qemu_savevm_iterate, and the other in
qemu_savevm_state_complete.
Changed code to:
pending_size = qemu_savevm_state_pending(s->file, max_size);
DPRINTF("pending size %lu max %lu\n", pending_size, max_size);
if (pending_size >= max_size) {
ret = qemu_savevm_state_iterate(s->file);
} else {
vm_stop_force_state(RUN_STATE_FINISH_MIGRATE);
qemu_savevm_state_complete(s->file);
}
So what we do is: at current network speed, we calculate the maximum
number of bytes we can sent: max_size.
Then we ask every save_live section how much they have pending. If
they are less than max_size, we move to complete phase, otherwise we
do an iterate one.
This makes things much simpler, because now individual sections don't
have to caluclate the bandwidth (it was implossible to do right from
there).
