Memory regions are not static data, so you have to do this at the time
migration starts.

For the RDMA-impaired among us, why do you need a separate host+port?
Can it be the same by default, and if it is different you can then
specify it like

    rdma://host:port/?rdmahost=HOST&rdmaport=PORT

Yes, this is done at migration time (see functions "rdma_client_init" 
and "rdma_server_prepare()")

To explain the host and port:

The separate host and port are used by the library "librdmacm". This 
library performs a network translation between the IP address and a 
unique infiniband user-level Port number and the physical interface that 
has the RDMA capabilities. This library requires an IP address and port 
bound specifically to the requested RDMA interface to work.

The patch does not assume that the network interface used for TCP 
traffic will necessarily be the same as the interface used for RDMA traffic.

Alternatively, this host and port could be specified using the QMP 
"migrate" command, but this command already has the URI for the TCP side 
of things reserved.

If you guys like, we could specify a *second* URI on the QMP command 
line - we don't really have a preference.

Either way is fine........ whatever the consensus is.

Of course the best thing to do would be to have all traffic on the RDMA
interface... :)

You can't do this with infiniband, RDMA is only possible once the
connection is established.

Sorry, I meant on the infiniband interface.

Right now Michael (Hines)'s code needs two sockets, one for TCP and
one for RDMA.  If I understand correctly, the rdmacm library does not
need a separate address to set up the connection, that's just an
artifact of the implementation.

Whatever goes on in the TCP socket can be done on RDMA after establishing
the connection, or can be done with SEND.
