The guest free pages should not be discarded by the live migration thread when page poisoning is enabled with PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY=n, because skipping the transfer of such poisoned free pages will trigger false positive when new pages are allocated and checked on the destination. This patch adds a config field, poison_val. Guest writes to the config field to tell the host about the poisoning value. The value will be 0 in the following cases: 1) PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY is enabled; 2) page poisoning is disabled; or 3) PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is enabled.
