"Calling the IOCTL with VFIO_IOMMU_DIRTY_PAGES_FLAG_START instructs the
IOMMU driver to track pages that are dirtied or potentially dirtied by
the device; designed to be used when a migration is in progress."

"Calling the IOCTL with VFIO_IOMMU_DIRTY_PAGES_FLAG_STOP instructs the
IOMMU driver to stop tracking dirtied pages."

"Calling the IOCTL with VFIO_IOMMU_DIRTY_PAGES_GET_BITMAP returns the
dirty pages bitmap for the IOMMU container for a given IOVA range." ?
Q: How does this interact with the two other operations? I imagine
getting an empty bitmap before _START and a bitmap-in-progress between
_START and _STOP. After _STOP, will subsequent calls always give the
same bitmap?

"The user must specify the IOVA range and the pgsize through the
vfio_iommu_type1_dirty_bitmap_get structure in the data[] portion."

That's a current restriction? How can the user find out whether it has
been lifted (or, more generally, find out which pgsize values are
supported)?

s/User/The user/
Is that the 'pgsize' the comment above talks about?

"A bit set in the bitmap indicates that the page at that offset from
iova is dirty." ?

Does argz also include the size of the bitmap?

That's for type1 only, right?
