tools/libxc: Remus Checkpoint Compression
Instead of sending dirty pages of guest memory as-is, use a simple compression
algorithm that sends a RLE-encoded XOR of the page against its last sent copy.
A small LRU cache is used to hold recently dirtied pages. Pagetable pages are
sent as-is, as they are canonicalized at sender side and uncanonicalized at
receiver.

+ *
+ * Checkpoint Compression using Page Delta Algorithm.
+ * - A LRU cache of recently dirtied guest pages is maintained.
+ * - For each dirty guest page in the checkpoint, if a previous version of the
+ * page exists in the cache, XOR both pages and send the non-zero sections
+ * to the receiver. The cache is then updated with the newer copy of guest
page.
+ * - The receiver will XOR the non-zero sections against its copy of the guest
+ * page, thereby bringing the guest page up-to-date with the sender side.

+ *
+ * unsigned long : Size of the compressed chunk to follow
+ * compressed data : variable length data of size indicated above.
+ * This chunk consists of compressed page data.
+ * The number of pages in one chunk depends on

+ *
+ * There can be one or more chunks with type XC_SAVE_ID_COMPRESSED_DATA,

+ * one single compressed chunk for the entire iteration. The number of pages
+ * present in this final compressed chunk will be equal to the total number
+ * of valid PFNs specified by the +ve chunks.
+ *
+ * At the sender side, compressed pages are inserted into the output stream
+ * in the same order as they would have been if compression logic was absent.
+ *
+ * Until last iteration, the BODY is sent in Format A, to maintain live
+ * migration compatibility with receivers of older Xen versions.
+ * At the last iteration, if Remus compression was enabled, the sender sends

+ * Corner case with checkpoint compression:
+ * At sender side, after pausing the domain, dirty pages are usually
+ * copied out to a temporary buffer. After the domain is resumed,
+ * compression is done and the compressed chunk(s) are sent, followed by
+ * other XC_SAVE_ID_* chunks.
+ * If the temporary buffer gets full while scanning for dirty pages,
+ * the sender stops buffering of dirty pages, compresses the temporary
+ * buffer and sends the compressed data with XC_SAVE_ID_COMPRESSED_DATA.
+ * The sender then resumes the buffering of dirty pages and continues
+ * scanning for the dirty pages.
+ * For e.g., assume that the temporary buffer can hold 4096 pages and
+ * there are 5000 dirty pages. The following is the sequence of chunks
+ * that the receiver will see:
+ *
+ * +1024 +ve chunk
+ * unsigned long[1024] PFN array
+ * +1024 +ve chunk
+ * unsigned long[1024] PFN array
+ * +1024 +ve chunk

+ * M Length of compressed data
