Yes it'll be interesting to know..

One thing I'm wildly guessing is dirty_memory_extend(), so maybe after the
ramblock is created nobody yet to clear the "1"s there for each of the
client, including DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION.  Then it'll be synced to ramblock
bmap only in the initial sync, once for each qemu lifecycle.
