[PULL,15/30] migration: Add property x-postcopy-preempt-break-huge

Commit Message

Dr. David Alan Gilbert July 20, 2022, 11:19 a.m. UTC

From: Peter Xu <[e-mail]>

Add a property field that can conditionally disable the "break sending huge
page" behavior in postcopy preemption.  By default it's enabled.

It should only be used for debugging purposes, and we should never remove
the "x-" prefix.
