[pve-devel] [RFC qemu-server/common] fix #4501: improve port reservation for QEMU TCP migration

[Fiona Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

Each patch is a different approach for improving the situation and
each subset could be applied. Personally, I like common 2/2, because
it removes the competition for early ports and IMHO the only one
worth considering a full fix, but it is a bit complex.

Another approach (not in the RFC, also could be considered a full fix)
would be to opt-in for a higher expire time for migration ports, add a
mechanism to remove the reservation and have vm_start_nolock() remove
the reservation after it made sure that QEMU got the port.
