+ *
+ * Here postcopy migration of dirty bitmaps is realized. Only QMP-addressable
+ * bitmaps, associated with root nodes and non-root named nodes are migrated.
+ *
+ * Bitmap migration implies creating bitmap with the same name and granularity
+ * in destination QEMU. If the bitmap with the same name (for the same node)
+ * already exists on destination an error will be generated.
+ *
+ * format of migration:
+ *
+ * # Header (shared for different chunk types)
+ * 1, 2 or 4 bytes: flags (see qemu_{put,put}_flags)
+ * [ 1 byte: node name size ] \  flags & DEVICE_NAME
+ * [ n bytes: node name     ] /
+ * [ 1 byte: bitmap name size ] \  flags & BITMAP_NAME
+ * [ n bytes: bitmap name     ] /
+ *
+ * # Start of bitmap migration (flags & START)
+ * header
+ * be64: granularity
+ * 1 byte: bitmap flags (corresponds to BdrvDirtyBitmap)
+ *   bit 0    -  bitmap is enabled
+ *   bit 1    -  bitmap is persistent
+ *   bit 2    -  bitmap is autoloading
+ *   bits 3-7 - reserved, must be zero
+ *
+ * # Complete of bitmap migration (flags & COMPLETE)
+ * header
+ *
+ * # Data chunk of bitmap migration
+ * header
+ * be64: start sector
+ * be32: number of sectors
+ * [ be64: buffer size  ] \ ! (flags & ZEROES)
+ * [ n bytes: buffer    ] /
+ *
+ * The last chunk in stream should contain flags & EOS. The chunk may skip
+ * device and/or bitmap names, assuming them to be the same with the previous
+ * chunk.
