Based on what we have now, it looks like we'd better halt the deprecation
process a bit, so I think we shouldn't need to rush it at least in 9.1
then, and we'll need to see how it goes on the refactoring.

It'll be perfect if rsocket works, otherwise supporting multifd with little
overhead / exported APIs would also be a good thing in general with
whatever approach.  And obviously all based on the facts that we can get
resources from companies to support this feature first.

Note that so far nobody yet compared with rdma v.s. nic perf, so I hope if
any of us can provide some test results please do so.  Many people are
saying RDMA is better, but I yet didn't see any numbers comparing it with
modern TCP networks.  I don't want to have old impressions floating around
even if things might have changed..  When we have consolidated results, we
should share them out and also reflect that in QEMU's migration docs when a
rdma document page is ready.

Chuan, please check the whole thread discussion, it may help to understand
what we are looking for on rdma migrations [1].  Meanwhile please feel free
to sync with Jinpu's team and see how to move forward with such a project.
