We don't clear the dirty bitmap before because KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG will clear it for us before copying the dirty log onto it. However we'd still better to clear it explicitly instead of assuming the kernel will always do it for us. More importantly, in the upcoming dirty ring tests we'll start to fetch dirty pages from a ring buffer, so no one is going to clear the dirty bitmap for us.
