This patch is another preparation step towards working in chunk mode. It pre-allocates chunks for the STOP_COPY phase to let the driver use them immediately and prevent an extra allocation upon that phase. Before that patch we had a single large buffer that was dedicated for the STOP_COPY phase as there was a single SAVE in the source for the last image. Once we'll move to chunk mode the idea is to have some small buffers that will be used upon the STOP_COPY phase. The driver will read-ahead from the firmware the full state in small/optimized chunks while letting QEMU/user space read in parallel the available data. Each buffer holds its chunk number to let it be recognized down the road in the coming patches. The chunk buffer size is picked-up based on the minimum size that firmware requires, the total full size and some max value in the driver code which was set to 8MB to achieve some optimized downtime in the general case. As the chunk mode is applicable even if we move directly to STOP_COPY the buffers preparation and some other related stuff is done unconditionally with regards to STOP/PRE-COPY. Note: In that phase in the series we still didn't activate the chunk mode and the first buffer will be used in all the places.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
