This commit adapts the vfio-user protocol specification and the libvfio-user implementation to v2 of the VFIO live migration interface, as used in the kernel and QEMU.
The differences between v1 and v2 are discussed in this email thread [1], and we slightly differ from upstream VFIO v2 in that instead of transferring data over a new FD, we use the existing UNIX socket with new commands VFIO_USER_MIG_DATA_READ/WRITE. We also don't yet use P2P states.
The updated spec was submitted to qemu-devel [2].
