Migration downtime estimation is calculated based on bandwidth and
remaining migration data. This assumes that loading of migration data in
the destination takes a negligible amount of time and that downtime
depends only on network speed.
While this may be true for RAM, it's not necessarily true for other
migrated devices. For example, loading the data of a VFIO device in the
destination might require from the device to allocate resources, prepare
internal data structures and so on. These operations can take a
significant amount of time which can increase migration downtime.
This patch adds a new capability "switchover ack" that prevents the
source from stopping the VM and completing the migration until an ACK
is received from the destination that it's OK to do so.
This can be used by migrated devices in various ways to reduce downtime.
For example, a device can send initial precopy metadata to pre-allocate
resources in the destination and use this capability to make sure that
the pre-allocation is completed before the source VM is stopped, so it
will have full effect.
This new capability relies on the return path capability to communicate
from the destination back to the source.
The actual implementation of the capability will be added in the
following patches.

These way we can make them atomic and use this functions from any
place. I also moved all functions that use rate_limit to
migration-stats.
Functions got renamed, they are not qemu_file anymore.
qemu_file_rate_limit -> migration_rate_exceeded
qemu_file_set_rate_limit -> migration_rate_set
qemu_file_get_rate_limit -> migration_rate_get
qemu_file_reset_rate_limit -> migration_rate_reset
qemu_file_acct_rate_limit -> migration_rate_account.

It is valid that params->has_block_bitmap_mapping is true and
params->block_bitmap_mapping is NULL. So we can't use the trick of
having a single function.
Move to two functions one for each value and the tests are fixed.

We used to flush all channels at the end of each RAM section
sent. That is not needed, so preparing to only flush after a full
iteration through all the RAM.
Default value of the property is false. But we return "true" in
migrate_multifd_flush_after_each_section() until we implement the code
in following patches.

Following David advise:
- looked through the history, capabilities are newer than 2012, so we
can remove that bit of the header.
- This part is posterior to Anthony.
Original Author is Orit. Once there,
I put myself. Peter Xu also did quite a bit of work here.
Anyone else wants/needs to be there? I didn't search too hard
because nobody asked before to be added.
What do you think?
