This is using the ram mutex to protect migration thread specific data.
A new lock should be introduced for that purpose.

buffered_file.c was generic code that has now become migration specific
(although migration was the only user). So it should either stop
pretending to be generic code, by rename to migration_thread.c along
with un-exporting interfaces, or it should remain generic and therefore
all migration specific knowledge moved somewhere else.

Anthony?

qemu_get_clock_ms should happen under iothread lock.

This lock protects the RAMlist, and only the RAMlist, but here its      
being used to protect migration thread data. As noted above, a new lock 
should be introduced.

Again.
