Add a new configure option "--dirty-ring-size" to support dirty-ring
migration on arm64. By default, the dirty-ring is disabled, we can
enable it by:

   # ./configure --dirty-ring-size=65536

This will generate one more entry in config.mak, it will look like:

   # cat config.mak
     :
   ACCEL=kvm,dirty-ring-size=65536

With this configure option, user can easy enable dirty-ring and specify
dirty-ring-size to test the dirty-ring in migration.

Do we really need a separate configure switch for this? If it is just about setting a value in the ACCEL variable, you can also run the tests like this:

ACCEL=kvm,dirty-ring-size=65536 ./run_tests.sh

Hi Thomas,

You're right. We can do it by simply set the ACCEL when execute ./run_tests.sh. I think maybe add a configure can make auto test to set the dirty-ring easier? but I'm not 100% sure it will benefit to them.

Thanks,
Shaoqin
