    This patch adds support for getting and using a local copy of the dirty
    bitmap.
    
    memory_region_snapshot_and_clear_dirty() will create a snapshot of the
    dirty bitmap for the specified range, clear the dirty bitmap and return
    the copy.  The returned bitmap can be a bit larger than requested, the
    range is expanded so the code can copy unsigned longs from the bitmap
    and avoid atomic bit update operations.
    
    memory_region_snapshot_get_dirty() will return the dirty status of
    pages, pretty much like memory_region_get_dirty(), but using the copy
    returned by memory_region_copy_and_clear_dirty().
