vfio: Extend the device migration protocol with RUNNING_P2P
The RUNNING_P2P state is designed to support multiple devices in the same VM that are doing P2P transactions between themselves. When in RUNNING_P2P the device must be able to accept incoming P2P transactions but should not generate outgoing P2P transactions. As an optional extension to the mandatory states it is defined as in between STOP and RUNNING: STOP -> RUNNING_P2P -> RUNNING -> RUNNING_P2P -> STOP For drivers that are unable to support RUNNING_P2P the core code silently merges RUNNING_P2P and RUNNING together. Unless driver support is present, the new state cannot be used in SET_STATE. Drivers that support this will be required to implement 4 FSM arcs beyond the basic FSM. 2 of the basic FSM arcs become combination transitions. Compared to the v1 clarification, NDMA is redefined into FSM states and is described in terms of the desired P2P quiescent behavior, noting that halting all DMA is an acceptable implementation.
