+``log_sync`` memory listener callback queries the dirty page bitmap from the

+Currently there are two ways dirty page tracking can be done:
+(1) Device dirty tracking:
+In this method the device is responsible to log and report its DMAs. This
+method can be used only if the device is capable of tracking its DMAs.
+Discovering device capability, starting and stopping dirty tracking, and
+syncing the dirty bitmaps from the device are done using the DMA logging uAPI.
+More info about the uAPI can be found in the comments of the
+``vfio_device_feature_dma_logging_control`` and
+``vfio_device_feature_dma_logging_report`` structures in the header file
+linux-headers/linux/vfio.h.

+(2) VFIO IOMMU module:
+In this method dirty tracking is done by IOMMU. However, there is currently no
+IOMMU support for dirty page tracking. For this reason, all pages are
+perpetually marked dirty, unless the device driver pins pages through external
+APIs in which case only those pinned pages are perpetually marked dirty.
+
+If the above two methods are not supported, all pages are perpetually marked
+dirty by QEMU.
