    rdma: introduce capability x-rdma-pin-all

    This capability allows you to disable dynamic chunk registration

    for better throughput on high-performance links.

    For example, using an 8GB RAM virtual machine with all 8GB of memory in

    active use and the VM itself is completely idle using a 40 gbps infiniband link:

    1. x-rdma-pin-all disabled total time: approximately 7.5 seconds @ 9.5 Gbps

    2. x-rdma-pin-all enabled total time: approximately 4 seconds @ 26 Gbps

    These numbers would of course scale up to whatever size virtual machine

    you have to migrate using RDMA.

    Enabling this feature does *not* have any measurable affect on

    migration *downtime*. This is because, without this feature, all of the

    memory will have already been registered already in advance during

    the bulk round and does not need to be re-registered during the successive

    iteration rounds.
