lirans@il.ibm.com c163b5cae9 Block live migration
This patch introduces block migration called during live migration. Block
are being copied to the destination in an async way. First the code will
transfer the whole disk and then transfer all dirty blocks accumulted during
the migration.
Still need to improve transition from the iterative phase of migration to the
end phase. For now transition will take place when all blocks transfered once,
all the dirty blocks will be transfered during the end phase (guest is
suspended).

Changes from v4:
- Global variabels moved to a global state structure allocated dynamically.
- Minor coding style issues.
- Poll block.c for tracking of dirty blocks instead of manage it here.

Chris Lalancette 4951f65bd3 Migration via unix sockets.
Implement migration via unix sockets.  While you can fake this using
exec and netcat, this involves forking another process and is
generally not very nice.  By doing this directly in qemu, we can avoid
the copy through the external nc command.  This is useful for
implementations (such as libvirt) that want to do "secure" migration;
we pipe the data on the sending side into the unix socket, libvirt
picks it up, encrypts it, and transports it, and then on the remote
side libvirt decrypts it, dumps it to another unix socket, and
feeds it into qemu.

The implementation is straightforward and looks very similar to
migration-exec.c and migration-tcp.c
