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
source asking for the pages.

Soon we'll be in either ACTIVE or POSTCOPY_ACTIVE when we
complete migration, and we need to know which we expect to be

Provide a check to see if the OS we're running on has all the bits
needed for postcopy.
Creates postcopy-ram.c which will get most of the other helpers we need.
