v2:
- Add user documentation [Paolo]
- Send PREEMPT on the source if migration fails. This rollback operation
  ensures the source regains access to the LUN even if migration fails after
  the destination issues its own PREEMPT.

Live migration does not work for SCSI Persistent Reservations acquired on
scsi-block devices. This patch series migrates the reservation key and
reservation type so that the destination QEMU can take over the persistent
reservation with the PREEMPT service action upon live migration.

The approach involves snooping PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT replies and tracking the
scsi-block device's current reservation key and reservation type. In most cases
this involves no additional SCSI commands. This approach isn't perfect: if
another machine modifies the reservation on the physical LUN, then QEMU's state
becomes stale. Persistent reservations are inherently cooperative, so this is
acceptable as long as real applications don't run into problems.

I am also working on a test suite called pr-tests that runs sg_persist(8)
commands across multiple machines in order to exercise various scenarios:

Stefan Hajnoczi (5):
  scsi: generalize scsi_SG_IO_FROM_DEV() to scsi_SG_IO()
  scsi: add error reporting to scsi_SG_IO()
  scsi: track SCSI reservation state for live migration
  scsi: save/load SCSI reservation state
