[PATCH v3 0/3] QIOChannel async_write & async_flush + MSG_ZEROCOPY + multifd

[Leonardo Bras]

This patch series intends to enable MSG_ZEROCOPY in QIOChannel, and make
use of it for multifd migration performance improvement.

Patch #1 creates new callbacks for QIOChannel, allowing the implementation
of asynchronous writing.

Patch #2 implements async_write and async_flush on QIOChannelSocket,

Patch #3 Makes use of async_write + async_flush to enable MSG_ZEROCOPY
for migration using multifd nocomp.

Results:
So far, the resource usage of __sys_sendmsg() reduced 15 times, and the
overall migration took 13-18% less time, based in synthetic workload.

The objective is to reduce migration time in hosts with heavy cpu usage.

Changes since v2:
- Patch #1: One more fallback
- Patch #2: Fall back to sync if fails to lock buffer memory in MSG_ZEROCOPY 
send.

Changes since v1:
- Reimplemented the patchset using async_write + async_flush approach.
- Implemented a flush to be able to tell whenever all data was written.

Leonardo Bras (3):
  QIOChannel: Add io_async_writev & io_async_flush callbacks
  QIOChannelSocket: Implement io_async_write & io_async_flush
  multifd: Send using asynchronous write on nocomp to send RAM pages.
