KVM: selftests: complete IO before migrating guest state
Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt states: NOTE: For KVM_EXIT_IO, KVM_EXIT_MMIO, KVM_EXIT_OSI, KVM_EXIT_PAPR and KVM_EXIT_EPR the corresponding operations are complete (and guest state is consistent) only after userspace has re-entered the kernel with KVM_RUN. The kernel side will first finish incomplete operations and then check for pending signals. Userspace can re-enter the guest with an unmasked signal pending to complete pending operations. Because guest state may be inconsistent, starting state migration after an IO exit without first completing IO may result in test failures, e.g. a proposed change to KVM's handling of %rip in its fast PIO handling[1] will cause the new VM, i.e. the post-migration VM, to have its %rip set to the IN instruction that triggered KVM_EXIT_IO, leading to a test assertion due to a stage mismatch. For simplicitly, require KVM_CAP_IMMEDIATE_EXIT to complete IO and skip the test if it's not available. The addition of KVM_CAP_IMMEDIATE_EXIT predates the state selftest by more than a year.
