By removing the share ram check, qemu is able to migrate
to private destination ram when x-ignore-shared capability
is on. Then we can create multiple destination VMs based
on the same source VM.
This changes the x-ignore-shared migration capability to
work similar to Lai's original bypass-shared-memory
work(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-04/msg00003.html)
which enables kata containers (https://katacontainers.io)
to implement the VM templating feature.
An example usage in kata containers(https://katacontainers.io):
1. Start the source VM:
qemu-system-x86 -m 2G \
-object
memory-backend-file,id=mem0,size=2G,share=on,mem-path=/tmpfs/template-memory \
-numa node,memdev=mem0
2. Stop the template VM, set migration x-ignore-shared capability,
migrate "exec:cat>/tmpfs/state", quit it
3. Start target VM:
qemu-system-x86 -m 2G \
-object
memory-backend-file,id=mem0,size=2G,share=off,mem-path=/tmpfs/template-memory \
-numa node,memdev=mem0 \
-incoming defer
4. connect to target VM qmp, set migration x-ignore-shared capability,
migrate_incoming "exec:cat /tmpfs/state"
5. create more target VMs repeating 3 and 4
