Implement dirtyrate calculation periodically basing on
dirty-ring and throttle vCPU until it reachs the quota
dirtyrate given by user.

Introduce qmp commands set-dirty-limit/cancel-dirty-limit to
set/cancel dirty limit on vCPU.

"not enabled"

What is a "dirty restraint"?

Drop the exclamation point, please.  See error.h:

  * The resulting message should be a single phrase, with no newline or
  * trailing punctuation.

What about "setting a dirty page limit requires ...".
Ok, sound good

This crashes unless the accelerator is kvm.  Reproducer:

     $ qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -accel tcg
     Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Thanks very much for finding this issue, i'll fix it next version

I think you should mention that the command fails unless dirty ring is
enabled, and a pointer to its documentation.

Emm, it seems that there's no documentation about dirty ring in qemu,
should i metion the commit b4420f19 "KVM: Dirty ring support" for dirty-ring?

+# @idx: vCPU index to set dirtylimit.

Please rename to @cpu-index for consistency with query-cpus-fast.  Same
for cancel-dirty-limit below.

+# @dirtyrate: upper limit for the specified vCPU's dirty page rate (MB/s)

In QMP, we separate words with hyphens, like @dirty-rate.  Please
rename.
