Confused. Live migration somehow loses state? Why is that and why
is it a good idea? And how do you know this is migration even?
Looks like all you know is you got free page end. Could be any
reason for this.

Manipulating report_free_page_stop without any locks looks
very suspicious.
Also, what if we get two start commands? we should restart
from beginning, should we not?

Since you made it generic, free page should
have its own flag not rely on ctrl vq.

The stop command does not appear to be thought through.

Let's assume e.g. you started migration. You ask guest for free pages.
Then you cancel it.  There are a bunch of pages in free vq and you are
getting more.  You now want to start migration again. What to do?

A bunch of vq flushing and waiting will maybe do the trick, but waiting
on guest is never a great idea.

I previously suggested pushing the stop/start commands from guest to
host on the free page vq, and including an ID in host to guest and
guest to host commands. This way ctrl vq is just for host to guest
commands, and host matches commands and knows which command
is a free page in response to.

I still think it's a good idea but go ahead and propose something
else that works.
