+ * VFIO device states :

+ * driver in which state the VFIO device should transitioned.
+ * - VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_NONE:
+ *   State when VFIO device is initialized but not yet running.
+ * - VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_RUNNING:
+ *   Transition VFIO device in running state, that is, user space application or
+ *   VM is active.
+ * - VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_MIGRATION_SETUP:
+ *   Transition VFIO device in migration setup state. This is used to prepare
+ *   VFIO device for migration while application or VM and vCPUs are still in
+ *   running state.
+ * - VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_MIGRATION_PRECOPY:
+ *   When VFIO user space application or VM is active and vCPUs are running,
+ *   transition VFIO device in pre-copy state.
+ * - VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_MIGRATION_STOPNCOPY:
+ *   When VFIO user space application or VM is stopped and vCPUs are halted,
+ *   transition VFIO device in stop-and-copy state.
+ * - VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_MIGRATION_SAVE_COMPLETED:
+ *   When VFIO user space application has copied data provided by vendor driver.
+ *   This state is used by vendor driver to clean up all software state that was
+ *   setup during MIGRATION_SETUP state.
+ * - VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_MIGRATION_RESUME:
+ *   Transition VFIO device to resume state, that is, start resuming VFIO device
+ *   when user space application or VM is not running and vCPUs are halted.
+ * - VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_MIGRATION_RESUME_COMPLETED:
+ *   When user space application completes iterations of providing device state
+ *   data, transition device in resume completed state.
+ * - VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_MIGRATION_FAILED:
+ *   Migration process failed due to some reason, transition device to failed
+ *   state. If migration process fails while saving at source, resume device at
+ *   source. If migration process fails while resuming application or VM at
+ *   destination, stop restoration at destination and resume at source.
+ * - VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_MIGRATION_CANCELLED:
+ *   User space application has cancelled migration process either for some
+ *   known reason or due to user's intervention. Transition device to Cancelled
+ *   state, that is, resume device state as it was during running state at
+ *   source.

+ * Structure vfio_device_migration_info is placed at 0th offset of
+ * VFIO_REGION_SUBTYPE_MIGRATION region to get/set VFIO device related migration
+ * information.
+ *
+ * Action Set state:
+ *      To tell vendor driver the state VFIO device should be transitioned to.
+ *      device_state [input] : User space app sends device state to vendor
+ *           driver on state change, the state to which VFIO device should be
+ *           transitioned to.
+ *
+ * Action Get pending bytes:
+ *      To get pending bytes yet to be migrated from vendor driver
+ *      pending.threshold_size [Input] : threshold of buffer in User space app.
+ *      pending.precopy_only [output] : pending data which must be migrated in
+ *          precopy phase or in stopped state, in other words - before target
+ *          user space application or VM start. In case of migration, this
+ *          indicates pending bytes to be transfered while application or VM or
+ *          vCPUs are active and running.
+ *      pending.compatible [output] : pending data which may be migrated any
+ *          time , either when application or VM is active and vCPUs are active
+ *          or when application or VM is halted and vCPUs are halted.
+ *      pending.postcopy_only [output] : pending data which must be migrated in
+ *           postcopy phase or in stopped state, in other words - after source
+ *           application or VM stopped and vCPUs are halted.
+ *      Sum of pending.precopy_only, pending.compatible and
+ *      pending.postcopy_only is the whole amount of pending data.
+ *
+ * Action Get buffer:
+ *      On this action, vendor driver should write data to migration region and
+ *      return number of bytes written in the region.
+ *      data.offset [output] : offset in the region from where data is written.
+ *      data.size [output] : number of bytes written in migration buffer by
+ *          vendor driver.
+ *
+ * Action Set buffer:
+ *      In migration resume path, user space app writes to migration region and
+ *      communicates it to vendor driver with this action.
+ *      data.offset [Input] : offset in the region from where data is written.
+ *      data.size [Input] : number of bytes written in migration buffer by
+ *          user space app.
+ *
+ * Action Get dirty pages bitmap:
+ *      Get bitmap of dirty pages from vendor driver from given start address.
+ *      dirty_pfns.start_addr [Input] : start address
+ *      dirty_pfns.total [Input] : Total pfn count from start_addr for which
+ *          dirty bitmap is requested
+ *      dirty_pfns.copied [Output] : pfn count for which dirty bitmap is copied
+ *          to migration region.
+ *      Vendor driver should copy the bitmap with bits set only for pages to be
+ *      marked dirty in migration region.
