The migration code does not care about partial reads/writes (at this level). 
Data is read /written to/from a buffer. When needed/available we retry.

I can introduce qemu_{f,}{read,write} which only takes care of EINTR (by 
retrying) but the caller would have to handle partial reads/writes (and EAGAIN). 
Would that be helpful ?
