I've tested both IB(40 GigE) and Ethernet(10 GigE). IB seems better but still could fail.
I don't have IB(10 GigE), so I'm not sure it's relevant to the bandwidth or not.

I haven't gone deeply into the kernel and seen the implemetation. But two CQs make
sure that qemu will not poll receive CQE when it expects to poll send CQE, and truly
can avoid parallel migration failure. I've tested IB and Ethernet for dozens of times, all
success so far.
