The bitmap and the size are immutable while migration is active: see
virtio_mem_is_busy(). We can migrate this information early, before
migrating any actual RAM content. Further, all information we need for
sanity checks is immutable as well.
Having this information in place early will, for example, allow for
properly preallocating memory before touching these memory locations
during RAM migration: this way, we can make sure that all memory was
actually preallocated and that any user errors (e.g., insufficient
hugetlb pages) can be handled gracefully.
In contrast, usable_region_size and requested_size can theoretically
still be modified on the source while the VM is running. Keep migrating
these properties the usual, late, way.
Use a new device property to keep behavior of compat machines
unmodified.
