[IOEMU]: fix the crash of HVM live migration with intensive disk access
Intensive disk access, e.g. sum of big file, during HVM live migration would
cause guest error even file system crash. Guest dmesg said
"attempt to access beyond end of device
hda1: rw=0, want=10232032112, limit=10474317"
Current map cache used by qemu dma doesn't mark the page dirty, so that these
pages(probably holding DMA data struct) are not transferred in the last
iteration during live migration.
This patch fixes it, and also merges the qemu's original dirty bitmap used by
other devices such as vga.

I think the fix is correct but we should thinking about dropping
logdirty and start using xc_hvm_modified_memory instead for all cases.
One interface should be better. But I'm not sure about the perf
implications. You know, qemu use logdirty for its device emulation even
without live migration, e.g. vga screen refresh. Changing to
xc_hvm_modified_memory would cause many hypercall to set/get the bitmap
in xen...
I think Gianluca also may have something to say about this but this week
he is on vacation.
