+/**
+ * Structure vfio_device_migration_info is placed at 0th offset of
+ * VFIO_REGION_SUBTYPE_MIGRATION region to get/set VFIO device related migration
+ * information. Field accesses from this structure are only supported at their
+ * native width and alignment, otherwise the result is undefined and vendor
+ * drivers should return an error.
+ *
+ * device_state: (read/write)
+ *      To indicate vendor driver the state VFIO device should be transitioned
+ *      to. If device state transition fails, write on this field return error.
+ *      It consists of 3 bits:
+ *      - If bit 0 set, indicates _RUNNING state. When its reset, that indicates
+ *        _STOPPED state. When device is changed to _STOPPED, driver should stop
+ *        device before write() returns.
+ *      - If bit 1 set, indicates _SAVING state.
+ *      - If bit 2 set, indicates _RESUMING state.
+ *      Bits 3 - 31 are reserved for future use. User should perform
+ *      read-modify-write operation on this field.
+ *      _SAVING and _RESUMING bits set at the same time is invalid state.
+ *
+ * pending bytes: (read only)
+ *      Number of pending bytes yet to be migrated from vendor driver
+ *
+ * data_offset: (read only)
+ *      User application should read data_offset in migration region from where
+ *      user application should read device data during _SAVING state or write
+ *      device data during _RESUMING state or read dirty pages bitmap. See below
+ *      for detail of sequence to be followed.
+ *
+ * data_size: (read/write)
+ *      User application should read data_size to get size of data copied in
+ *      migration region during _SAVING state and write size of data copied in
+ *      migration region during _RESUMING state.
+ *
+ * start_pfn: (write only)
+ *      Start address pfn to get bitmap of dirty pages from vendor driver duing
+ *      _SAVING state.
+ *
+ * page_size: (write only)
+ *      User application should write the page_size of pfn.
+ *
+ * total_pfns: (write only)
+ *      Total pfn count from start_pfn for which dirty bitmap is requested.
+ *
+ * copied_pfns: (read only)
+ *      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.
+ *      - Vendor driver should return VFIO_DEVICE_DIRTY_PFNS_NONE if none of the
+ *        pages are dirty in requested range or rest of the range.
+ *      - Vendor driver should return VFIO_DEVICE_DIRTY_PFNS_ALL to mark all
+ *        pages dirty in the given range or rest of the range.
+ *      - Vendor driver should return pfn count for which bitmap is written in
+ *        the region.
+ *
+ * Migration region looks like:
+ *  ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * |vfio_device_migration_info|    data section                      |
+ * |                          |     ///////////////////////////////  |
+ * ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *   ^                              ^                             ^
+ *  offset 0-trapped part        data_offset                 data_size
+ *
+ * Data section is always followed by vfio_device_migration_info structure
+ * in the region, so data_offset will always be non-0. Offset from where data
+ * is copied is decided by kernel driver, data section can be trapped or
+ * mapped or partitioned, depending on how kernel driver defines data section.
+ * Data section partition can be defined as mapped by sparse mmap capability.
+ * If mmapped, then data_offset should be page aligned, where as initial section
+ * which contain vfio_device_migration_info structure might not end at offset
+ * which is page aligned.
+ * Data_offset can be same or different for device data and dirty pages bitmap.
+ * Vendor driver should decide whether to partition data section and how to
+ * partition the data section. Vendor driver should return data_offset
+ * accordingly.
+ *
+ * Sequence to be followed for _SAVING|_RUNNING device state or pre-copy phase
+ * and for _SAVING device state or stop-and-copy phase:
+ * a. read pending_bytes. If pending_bytes > 0, go through below steps.
+ * b. read data_offset, indicates kernel driver to write data to staging buffer.
+ * c. read data_size, amount of data in bytes written by vendor driver in
+ *    migration region.
+ * d. read data_size bytes of data from data_offset in the migration region.
+ * e. process data.
+ * f. Loop through a to e.
+ *
+ * To copy system memory content during migration, vendor driver should be able
+ * to report system memory pages which are dirtied by that driver. For such
+ * dirty page reporting, user application should query for a range of GFNs
+ * relative to device address space (IOVA), then vendor driver should provide
+ * the bitmap of pages from this range which are dirtied by him through
+ * migration region where each bit represents a page and bit set to 1 represents
+ * that the page is dirty.
+ * User space application should take care of copying content of system memory
+ * for those pages.
+ *
+ * Steps to get dirty page bitmap:
+ * a. write start_pfn, page_size and total_pfns.
+ * b. read copied_pfns. Vendor driver should take one of the below action:
+ *     - Vendor driver should return VFIO_DEVICE_DIRTY_PFNS_NONE if driver
+ *       doesn't have any page to report dirty in given range or rest of the
+ *       range. Exit the loop.
+ *     - Vendor driver should return VFIO_DEVICE_DIRTY_PFNS_ALL to mark all
+ *       pages dirty for given range or rest of the range. User space
+ *       application mark all pages in the range as dirty and exit the loop.
+ *     - Vendor driver should return copied_pfns and provide bitmap for
+ *       copied_pfn in migration region.
+ * c. read data_offset, where vendor driver has written bitmap.
+ * d. read bitmap from the migration region from data_offset.
+ * e. Iterate through steps a to d while (total copied_pfns < total_pfns)
+ *
+ * Sequence to be followed while _RESUMING device state:
+ * While data for this device is available, repeat below steps:
+ * a. read data_offset from where user application should write data.
+ * b. write data of data_size to migration region from data_offset.
+ * c. write data_size which indicates vendor driver that data is written in
+ *    staging buffer.
+ *
+ * For user application, data is opaque. User should write data in the same
+ * order as received.
