Hi,
  This is the 4th cut of my version of postcopy; it is designed for use with
the Linux kernel additions just posted by Andrea Arcangeli here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=141235633015100&w=2

(Note: This is a new version compared to my previous postcopy patchset; you'll
need to update the kernel to the new version.)

Other than the new kernel ABI (which is only a small change to the userspace side);
the major changes are;

  a) Code for host page size != target page size
  b) Support for migration over fd 
     From Cristian Klein; this is for libvirt support which Cristian recently
     posted to the libvirt list.
  c) It's now build bisectable and builds on 32bit

Testing wise; I've now done many thousand of postcopy migrations without
failure (both of idle and busy guests); so it seems pretty solid.

Must-TODO's:
  1) A partially repeatable migration_cancel failure
  2) virt_test's migrate.with_reboot test is failing
  3) The ACPI fix in 2.1 that allowed migrating RAMBlocks to be larger than
    the source feels like it needs looking at for postcopy.
  4) Paolo's comments with respect to the wakeup_request/is_running code
     in the migration thread
  5) xbzrle needs disabling once in postcopy

Later-TODO's:
  1) Control the rate of background page transfers during postcopy to
     reduce their impact on the latency of postcopy requests.
  2) Work with RDMA
  3) Could destination RP be made blocking (as per discussion with Paolo;
     I'm still worried that that changes too many assumptions)



V4:
  Initial support for host page size != target page size
    - tested heavily on hps==tps
    - only partially tested on hps!=tps systems
    - This involved quite a bit of rework around the discard code
  Updated to new kernel userfault ABI
    - It won't work with the previous version
  Fix mis-optimisation of postcopy request for wrong RAMBlock
     request for block A offset n
     un-needed fault for block B/m (already received - no req sent)
     request for block B/l  - wrongly sent as request for A/l
  Fix thinko in discard bitmap processing (missed last word of bitmap)
     Symptom: remap failures near the top of RAM if postcopy started late
  Fix bug that caused kernel page acknowledgments to be misaligned
     May have meant the guest was paused for longer than required
  Fix potential for crashing cleaning up failed RP
  Fixes in docs (from Yang)
  Handle migration by fd as sockets if they are sockets
  Build tested on 32bit
  Fully build bisectable (x86-64)
