+   All the data associated with the package - the ( ... ) section in the diagram -

+   to process the contents of the package (2) which contains commands (3,6) and
+   devices (4...)

+- On receipt of 'postcopy listen' - 3 -(i.e. the 1st command in the package)
+
+   a new thread (a) is started that takes over servicing the migration stream,
+   while the main thread carries on loading the package.   It loads normal
+   background page data (b) but if during a device load a fault happens (5)
+   the returned page (c) is loaded by the listen thread allowing the main
+   threads device load to carry on.
+
+- The last thing in the ``CMD_PACKAGED`` is a 'RUN' command (6)
+
+   letting the destination CPUs start running.  At the end of the
+   ``CMD_PACKAGED`` (7) the main thread returns to normal running behaviour and
+   is no longer used by migration, while the listen thread carries on servicing
+   page data until the end of migration.

+Postcopy states
+---------------
 
 Postcopy moves through a series of states (see postcopy_state) from
 ADVISE->DISCARD->LISTEN->RUNNING->END
 
-  Advise:  Set at the start of migration if postcopy is enabled, even
-           if it hasn't had the start command; here the destination
-           checks that its OS has the support needed for postcopy, and performs
-           setup to ensure the RAM mappings are suitable for later postcopy.
-           The destination will fail early in migration at this point if the
-           required OS support is not present.
-           (Triggered by reception of POSTCOPY_ADVISE command)
-
-  Discard: Entered on receipt of the first 'discard' command; prior to
-           the first Discard being performed, hugepages are switched off
-           (using madvise) to ensure that no new huge pages are created
-           during the postcopy phase, and to cause any huge pages that
-           have discards on them to be broken.
-
-  Listen:  The first command in the package, POSTCOPY_LISTEN, switches
-           the destination state to Listen, and starts a new thread
-           (the 'listen thread') which takes over the job of receiving
-           pages off the migration stream, while the main thread carries
-           on processing the blob.  With this thread able to process page
-           reception, the destination now 'sensitises' the RAM to detect
-           any access to missing pages (on Linux using the 'userfault'
-           system).
-
-  Running: POSTCOPY_RUN causes the destination to synchronise all
-           state and start the CPUs and IO devices running.  The main
-           thread now finishes processing the migration package and
-           now carries on as it would for normal precopy migration
-           (although it can't do the cleanup it would do as it
-           finishes a normal migration).
-
-  End:     The listen thread can now quit, and perform the cleanup of migration
-           state, the migration is now complete.

 Postcopy now works with hugetlbfs backed memory:

   a) The linux kernel on the destination must support userfault on hugepages.
   b) The huge-page configuration on the source and destination VMs must be
      identical; i.e. RAMBlocks on both sides must use the same page size.

   d) Care should be taken with the size of hugepage used; postcopy with 2MB
      hugepages works well, however 1GB hugepages are likely to be problematic
      since it takes ~1 second to transfer a 1GB hugepage across a 10Gbps link,
