The Big QEMU Lock (BQL) has many names and they are confusing. The
actual QemuMutex variable is called qemu_global_mutex but it's commonly
referred to as the BQL in discussions and some code comments. The
locking APIs, however, are called qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() and
qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread().
The "iothread" name is historic and comes from when the main thread was
split into into KVM vcpu threads and the "iothread" (now called the main
loop thread). I have contributed to the confusion myself by introducing
a separate --object iothread, a separate concept unrelated to the BQL.
The "iothread" name is no longer appropriate for the BQL. Rename the
locking APIs to:
- void bql_lock(void)
- void bql_unlock(void)
- bool bql_locked(void)
There are more APIs with "iothread" in their names. Subsequent patches
will rename them. There are also comments and documentation that will be
updated in later patches.

Currently query-dirty-rate uses QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME as
the source for start-time field. This translates to
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC), i.e. number of seconds
since host boot. This is not very useful. The only
reasonable use case of start-time I can imagine is to
check whether previously completed measurements are
too old or not. But this makes sense only if start-time
is reported as host wall-clock time.
This patch replaces source of start-time from
QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME to QEMU_CLOCK_HOST.

The global dirty log synchronization is used when KVM and dirty ring
are enabled. There is a particularity for ARM64 where the backup
bitmap is used to track dirty pages in non-running-vcpu situations.
It means the dirty ring works with the combination of ring buffer
and backup bitmap. The dirty bits in the backup bitmap needs to
collected in the last stage of live migration.
In order to identify the last stage of live migration and pass it
down, an extra parameter is added to the relevant functions and
callbacks. This last stage indicator isn't used until the dirty
ring is enabled in the subsequent patches.
No functional change intended.
