[RFC Patch 12/12] IXGBEVF: Track dma dirty pages

[Lan Tianyu]

Migration relies on tracking dirty page to migrate memory.
Hardware can't automatically mark a page as dirty after DMA
memory access. VF descriptor rings and data buffers are modified
by hardware when receive and transmit data. To track such dirty memory
manually, do dummy writes(read a byte and write it back) during receive
and transmit data.
