[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 34/42] Postcopy: Use helpers to map pages during migration

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <address@hidden>

In postcopy, the destination guest is running at the same time
as it's receiving pages; as we receive new pages we must put
them into the guests address space atomically to avoid a running
CPU accessing a partially written page.

Use the helpers in postcopy-ram.c to map these pages.

qemu_get_buffer_less_copy is used to avoid a copy out of qemu_file
in the case that postcopy is going to do a copy anyway.
