Create a mode migration parameter that can be used to select alternate
migration algorithms.  The default mode is normal, representing the
current migration algorithm, and does not need to be explicitly set.

No functional change until a new mode is added, except that the mode is
shown by the 'info migrate' command.

[... qdev definition ...]

Looks legit, but I am not an expert here.

Inside parameters, I try to get the functions sorted by name.  the same
for options.h

Here you only have normal, but in qdev you also have exec.

You normally put comments and values at the end of the comments and
sections. Your sshould be last.

Feel free to use a single line in the json.  More than one value for
line make it a bit more compress, but makes changes more complicated.

Rest of the patch feels right.

Thanks, Juan.

Nor I, but I copied a similar definition line for line, see
  qdev_prop_blockdev_on_error
  DEFINE_PROP_BLOCKDEV_ON_ERROR

However, I now see I am missing:
  QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(MigMode) != sizeof(int));

I can ask Daniel Berrange to review this part if you prefer.

Sure, will do.

Good eye.  I will remove exec from .description in this patch, and add
cpr-reboot to it in patch 4.

Do you mean, add the mode parameter at the end of the existing parameters, 
after vcpu-dirty-limit?

Like this?

{ 'enum': 'MigrationParameter',
  'data': ['announce-initial', 'announce-max',
          ...
          'vcpu-dirty-limit',
          'mode'] }

I reviewed it, but I agree that looks legit to me O:-)

Exactwly.  Same for the comments at the end of the list.

Hi Daniel, does the addition of MigMode in qdev below look OK to you?
It exactly mirrors qdev_prop_blockdev_on_error + DEFINE_PROP_BLOCKDEV_ON_ERROR.

I realize I need to add:
    QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(MigMode) != sizeof(int));
and I need to delete "exec" from the .description.

I will cc you when I submit V2 of the patch.
