RDMA migration currently relies on the source and destination RAMBlocks
having the same offsets within ram_addr_t space;  unfortunately that's
just not true when:
    a) You hotplug on the source but then create the device on the command line
      on the destination.

    b) Across two versions of qemu

Thus there are migrations that work with TCP that don't with RDMA.

The changes keep stream compatibility with existing RDMA migration,
so cases that already work (i.e. no hotplug) will keep working.

With some light testing this seems to work; hopefully I've got all the
cases that pass offsets back and forward.

Dr. David Alan Gilbert (10):
   Rename RDMA structures to make destination clear
   qemu_ram_foreach_block: pass up error value, and down the ramblock
     name
   Store block name in local blocks structure
   Translate offsets to destination address space
   Rework ram_control_load_hook to hook during block load
   Remove unneeded memset
   Simplify rdma_delete_block and remove it's dependence on the hash
   Rework ram block hash
   Sort destination RAMBlocks to be the same as the source
   Sanity check RDMA remote data

OK, I've got the patchset open now on my new office in the US.

Getting ready to go through it..........
