hi Kirti
by updating kernel/qemu to v23, still met below two types of errors.
just basic migration test.
(the guest VM size is 2G for all reported bugs).

"Failed to get dirty bitmap for iova: 0xfe011000 size: 0x3fb0 err: 22"

or 

"qemu-system-x86_64-lm: vfio_load_state: Error allocating buffer
qemu-system-x86_64-lm: error while loading state section id 49(vfio)
qemu-system-x86_64-lm: load of migration failed: Cannot allocate memory"


Thanks
Yan
