It's not extremely clear to me yet on when we should use migrate_postcopy()
and when to use migrate_postcopy_ram().  I think it's because I don't know
enough on the dirty-bitmaps capability.  Do we have some good documentation
somewhere?

Not much I get from the qapi doc..

# @dirty-bitmaps: If enabled, QEMU will migrate named dirty bitmaps.
#                 (since 2.12)

Thanks,
