If the call to xc_hvm_track_dirty_vram() fails, then we set dirtybit on all the
video ram. This case happens during migration, but we don't need a special case
for live migration with patch.

Just as a reference, what is this special case for live migration that
you are talking about? A pointer to the qemu-xen-traditional code would
be welcomed here.

It was in the previous iteration of this patches series, qemu-trad
does not have a special case for migration, but a fail of the xc_ call
result in the vram to be marked as dirty.
