Shall we open a new section for RING_WITH_BITMAP? Otherwise here it still
looks like these are three options for the rings.
Perhaps RING_WITH_BITMAP doesn't worth a section at all, so we can avoid
mentioning it here to avoid confusing.

IMHO it'll be great to start with something like below to describe the
userspace's responsibility to proactively detect the WITH_BITMAP cap:
Before using the dirty rings, the userspace needs to detect the cap of
KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_WITH_BITMAP to see whether the ring structures
need to be backed by per-slot bitmaps.
When KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_WITH_BITMAP returns 1, it means the arch can
dirty guest pages without vcpu/ring context, so that some of the dirty
information will still be maintained in the bitmap structure.
Note that the bitmap here is only a backup of the ring structure, and it
doesn't need to be collected until the final switch-over of migration
process. Normally the bitmap should only contain a very small amount of
dirty pages only, which needs to be transferred during VM downtime.
To collect dirty bits in the backup bitmap, the userspace can use the
same KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl. Since it's always the last phase of
migration that needs the fetching of dirty bitmap, KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG
ioctl should not be needed in this case and its behavior undefined.
That's how I understand this new cap, but let me know if you think any of
above is inproper.

Nit: it'll be great to mention the exact arm ioctl here just in case anyone
would like to further reference the code.

IIUC what Oliver wanted to suggest is we can avoid enabling of this cap,
then we don't need dirty_ring_with_bitmap field but instead we can check
against CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_WITH_BITMAP when needed.
I think that'll make sense, because without the bitmap the ring won't work
with arm64, so not valid to not enable it at all. But good to double check
with Oliver too.
The rest looks good to me, thanks,
