Juan, Please pull.

Changes since v4:

- Re-ran checkpatch.pl
- Added new QEMUFileOps function: qemu_get_max_size()
- Renamed capability to x-pin-all, disabled by default
- Added numbers for x-pin-all to performance section in docs/rdma.txt
- Included performance numbers in this cover letter
- Converted throughput patch to a MigrationStats statistic in QMP
- Better QMP error message delivery
- Updated documentation
- Moved docs/rdma.txt up to top of patch series
- Fixed all v4 changes requested
- Finished additional cleanup requests
- Updated copyright for migration-rdma.c

Here is a brief summary of total migration time and downtime using RDMA:

Using a 40gbps infiniband link performing a worst-case stress test,
using an 8GB RAM virtual machine:
Using the following command:

$ apt-get install stress
$ stress --vm-bytes 7500M --vm 1 --vm-keep

RESULTS:

1. Migration throughput: 26 gigabits/second.
2. Downtime (stop time) varies between 15 and 100 milliseconds.

EFFECTS of memory registration on bulk phase round:

For example, in the same 8GB RAM example with all 8GB of memory in 
active use and the VM itself is completely idle using the same 40 gbps 
infiniband link:

1. x-rdma-pin-all disabled total time: approximately 7.5 seconds @ 9.5 Gbps
2. x-rdma-pin-all enabled total time: approximately 4 seconds @ 26 Gbps

These numbers would of course scale up to whatever size virtual machine
you have to migrate using RDMA.

Enabling this feature does *not* have any measurable affect on 
migration *downtime*. This is because, without this feature, all of the 
memory will have already been registered already in advance during
the bulk round and does not need to be re-registered during the successive
iteration rounds.
