Hi all.

This fixes bitmaps migration through shared storage. Look at 02 for
details.

The bug introduced in 2.10 with the whole qcow2 bitmaps feature, so
qemu-stable in CC. However I doubt that someone really suffered from this.

Do we need dirty bitmaps at all in inactive case? - that was a question in v2.
And, keeping in mind that we are going to use inactive mode not only for
incoming migration, I'm not sure that answer is NO (but, it may be "NO" for
2.10, 2.11), so let's fix it in proposed here manner at least for 2.12.
For some reason, I can't get 169 to work now at all[1].  What's more,
whenever I run it, two (on current master, maybe more after this series)
"cat $TEST_DIR/mig_file" processes stay around.  That doesn't seem right.

However, this series doesn't seem to make it worse[2]...  So I'm keeping
it.  I suppose it's just some issue with the test.

[1] Sometimes there are migration even timeouts, sometimes just VM
launch timeouts (specifically when VM B is supposed to be re-launched
just after it has been shut down), and sometimes I get a dirty bitmap
hash mismatch.


[2] The whole timeline was:

- Apply this series, everything seems alright

(a couple of hours later)
- Test some other things, stumble over 169 once or so

- Focus on 169, fails a bit more often

(today)
- Can't get it to work at all

- Can't get it to work in any version, neither before nor after this patch

- Lose my sanity

- Write this email

O:-)


hmm.. checked on current master (7b93d78a04aa24), tried a lot of times in a loop, works for me. How can I help?
