LOG_FD is implemented in the kernel drivers/vhost/vhost.c. It seems to
be an eventfd-like mechanism to save on dirty bitmap scans. However,
it's not well documented how to implement it in a correct way.
In any case, live migration needs a new message type (like LOG_MMAP_FD)
in the vhost-user protocol.
