From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

  This is the 8th cut of my version of postcopy.

The userfaultfd linux kernel code is now in the upstream kernel
tree, and so 4.3-rc3 can be used without modification.

This qemu series can be found at:
https://github.com/orbitfp7/qemu.git
on the wp3-postcopy-v8 tag


Testing status:
  * Tested heavily on x86
  * Smoke tested on aarch64 (so it does work on different page sizes)
  * Power is unhappy for me (but gets further than the htab problem
    v7 used to have) (I get a kvm run failed)

Note that patches:
   3 Init page size in qtest
   10 Use RAMBlock rather than Memory Region
   14,15 (splitting ram find and save block)
   36 Split out end of migration code

   have also been posted seperately during the last month and
can be taken separately from this series.

This work has been partially funded by the EU Orbit project:
  see http://www.orbitproject.eu/about/

v8
  Huge page changes
     The precopy phase is now allowed to keep transparent-huge-pages
     enabled, although these maybe split in the discard phase.  A change
     to the discard process now causes discards for unsent (as well as
     redirtied) pages; the combination of these changes means that the
     destination starts running with many of the precopy pages as huge
     pages, resulting in a significant performance benefit.  This change
     adds one more state ('discard') which is entered by the destination
     on reception of the 1st discard command.

  Add global_state_store for postcopy
  Moved postcopy_state back out of MigrationIncomingState
     During the end of the main migration thread reading state the
     postcopy state is read to see who should cleanup; in failure
     conditions there was a race between the state being read and the
     freeing of the MIS

  Stop calling the iterate method for non-postcopiable devices during postcopy
     Helps fix Power (thanks for Bharata for helping debug this)

  Review comment fixes
    rework of migration command parsing
    rework of postcopy_chunk_hostpages
    rework of discard code & protocol into start/length rather than start/end
    rename qemu_get_buffer_less_copy -> qemu_get_buffer_in_place
    split 'Postcopy end in migration thread' patch into two
    split of MIG_RP_MSG_REQ_PAGES into subtype with name
    Added comments documenting postcopy_state's use
    lots of other minor fixups

  Notes:
    I kept the mlock support (users are saying they wanted migration/postcopy
      with mlock)

    I'm keeping the x-  for now, until the libvirt interface gets finalised.

    There are two checkpatch errors, that I don't think are right to change:
     a) a 'typedef enum' it wants split - that's the way we do all our enums
        and would force a dummy name for the enum.
     b) A complaint about postcopy_ram_discard_version = 0 that's a global
        static; I could get rid of it by making my version 1, but it doesn't
        seem right to omit the '= 0 ' for a version constant.
