Some architectures (such as arm64) need to dirty memory outside of the
context of a vCPU. Of course, this simply doesn't fit with the UAPI of
KVM's per-vCPU dirty ring.
Introduce a new flavor of dirty ring that requires the use of both vCPU
dirty rings and a dirty bitmap. The expectation is that for non-vCPU
sources of dirty memory (such as the GIC ITS on arm64), KVM writes to
the dirty bitmap. Userspace should scan the dirty bitmap before
migrating the VM to the target.
Use an additional capability to advertize this behavior and require
explicit opt-in to avoid breaking the existing dirty ring ABI. And yes,
you can use this with your preferred flavor of DIRTY_RING[_ACQ_REL]. Do
not allow userspace to enable dirty ring if it hasn't also enabled the
ring && bitmap capability, as a VM is likely DOA without the pages
marked in the bitmap.
