During post-copy migration (once it actually switches to post-copy mode)
dirty memory pages are continued to be migrated iteratively, while the
destination can explicitly request a specific page to be migrated before
the iterative process gets to it (which happens when a guest wants to
read a page that was not migrated yet). Without this flag explicitly
requested pages need to wait until all other pages already queued are
transferred. Enabling this flag will instruct the hypervisor to create a
separate migration channel for explicitly requested pages so that they
can preempt the queue.
