BTW, to be clear, we are proposing to include the ARC_SUPPORTED ioctl immediately, and adopt it in qemu when we implement the P2P support there. It was just split into a seperate patch for review. If qemu will attempt to support the optional non-P2P mode (without a supporting driver yet existing) or simply fail to support migration if P2P arcs are not supported is up to the qemu team. It doesn't matter which choice qemu makes to the kernel series. I also don't care if we write this patch with P2P described as non-optional - so long as we all understand that when hns's driver comes along and cannot implement the P2P stuff we have a fully compatible upgrade path that does not change the migration region version.
