At the moment postcopy will fail as soon as qemu tries to register
userfault on the RAMBlock pages that are backed by hugepages.
However, the kernel is going to get userfault support for hugepage
at some point, and we've not got the rest of the QEMU code to support
it yet, so fail neatly with an error like:
Postcopy doesn't support hugetlbfs yet (/objects/mem1)

mmap man page:
"On success, mmap() returns a pointer to the mapped area. On error, the
value MAP_FAILED (that is, (void *) -1) is returned, and errno is set
to indicate the cause of the error."
The check in postcopy_get_tmp_page is definitely wrong and should be
fixed.

madvise() returns EINVAL in the case of many failures, but also
returns it in cases where the host kernel doesn't have THP enabled.
Postcopy only really cares that THP is off before it detects faults,
and turns it back on afterwards; so we're going to have
to assume that if the madvise fails then the host just doesn't do
THP and we can carry on with the postcopy.

Postcopy detects accesses to pages that haven't been transferred yet
using userfaultfd, and it causes exceptions on pages that are 'not
present'.
Ballooning also causes pages to be marked as 'not present' when the
guest inflates the balloon.
Potentially a balloon could be inflated to discard pages that are
currently inflight during postcopy and that may be arriving at about
the same time.
To avoid this confusion, disable ballooning during postcopy.
When disabled we drop balloon requests from the guest. Since ballooning
is generally initiated by the host, the management system should avoid
initiating any balloon instructions to the guest during migration,
although it's not possible to know how long it would take a guest to
process a request made prior to the start of migration.
Guest initiated ballooning will not know if it's really freed a page
of host memory or not.
Queueing the requests until after migration would be nice, but is
non-trivial, since the set of inflate/deflate requests have to
be compared with the state of the page to know what the final
outcome is allowed to be.

Prior to servicing userfault requests we must ensure we've not got
huge pages in the area that might include non-transferred memory,
since a hugepage could incorrectly mark the whole huge page as present.
We mark the area as non-huge page (nhp) just before we perform
discards; the discard code now tells us to discard any areas
that haven't been sent (as well as any that are redirtied);
any already formed transparent-huge-pages get fragmented
by this discard process if they cotnain any discards.
Transparent huge pages that have been entirely transferred
and don't contain any discards are not broken by this mechanism;
they stay as huge pages.
By starting postcopy after a full precopy pass, many of the pages
then stay as huge pages; this is important for maintaining performance
after the end of the migration.

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
