Otherwise there is no way to differentiate between global and slot 
specific logging, so for example 

vga dirty log start
migration start
migration fail

Disables dirty logging for the vga slot.

This is not true (unless there is a bug): Migration logging is tracked
via KVMState::migration_log and vga logging via KVMSlot::flags. Both are
merged in kvm_set_user_memory_region. Thus no such change is required
for upstream.

It's still a good idea.  The current API assumes that there will be only 
one slot-based client (or that multiple clients will keep the refcount 
themselves).

After the bytemap -> multiple bitmaps conversion this can be extended to 
each client getting its own bitmap (and therefore, s/refcount/list of 
bitmaps/ and s/!refcount/list_empty()/).

No concerns if
 - there is an existing use case for multiple clients, at least in
   qemu-kvm
 - the logging API is consistently converted, not just extended
   (IOW, migration_log is converted to logging_count)
 - someone signs he checked that current use of start/stop in qemu is
   completely symmetrical (I think to remember this used to be not the
   case, but I might be wrong)

There isn't.  But I don't like hidden breakage.

migration_log needs to remain global, since we want hotplug memory to 
autostart logging.

It's (so far) an unproblematic API property we can document. I don't
like changing APIs just for "there might be the case that...".

Can't follow yet, what will be the usage pattern of
kvm_set_migration_log? Or would the hotplug code require a separate
interface? Is it already the multi-client use case I'm looking for?

I guess it's one of those agree to disagree things.  I dislike known 
broken APIs even if their none of their users are affected.

kvm_set_migration_log() means, start logging now for all current and 
future memory, until disabled.

It could be implemented in terms of kvm_log_start() (which would provide 
a multi-client use case), but it isn't now.

I guess it is a logical example of how two clients can exist, even 
though they don't step on each others toes in practice since their 
enable flags are kept separate by the implementation.

The API is not broken. I intentionally designed it for the single user
as I saw no need for more. If I oversaw something, I would really like
to learn about these cases.

Hmm, you mean plugging memory during ongoing migration is valid and can
be handled? I'm a bit skeptical. What makes this different from, say,
PCI hotplugging which should be a no-go during migration as well?

The fact that the API assumes a single user is what's broken IMO.

If the API were to take a memory slot as parameter you could say it is 
the responsibility of the slot's owner to multiplex (and since vga has a 
single owner, no need to multiplex).  But it takes a range.

Sure (except that we don't have memory hotplug).

PCI hotplugging should be handled in migration as well.  Introducing 
dependencies among unrelated features and expecting upper layers to 
apply the correct constraints is unreasonable.

Currently we don't handle this, but we should.  One way to do it is to 
forward the hotplug/hotunplug along the migration channel.

No, the API accepts only a single slot. If you try passing bogus ranges
that span multiple or incomplete slots, you get what you deserve - a bug
message.

I see.  In its qemu-kvm iteration, it would iterate over slots and 
accept incomplete slots (it's okay to log more than requested).  If the 
API is for a slot, it should accept a slot, not a range (when we move to 
a slots representation in qemu).

Unrelated:

         cpu_physical_sync_dirty_bitmap(isa_mem_base + 0xa0000, 0xa8000);
         cpu_physical_sync_dirty_bitmap(isa_mem_base + 0xa8000, 0xb0000);

Will this sync to the right place (whatever those windows alias to)?

Yes, an explicit slot reference in the API would be clearer.

I was worried the bitmap was indexed by physical addresses, but now I 
remember it is indexed by ram addresses, so it all works out.

Don't see any guarantee that it is symmetrical. Anyway, will drop
