* tag 'migration-20231002-pull-request' of https://gitlab.com/juan.quintela/qemu:
  migration/rdma: Simplify the function that saves a page
  migration: Remove unused qemu_file_credit_transfer()
  migration/rdma: Don't use imaginary transfers
  migration/rdma: Remove QEMUFile parameter when not used
  migration/RDMA: It is accounting for zero/normal pages in two places
  migration: Don't abuse qemu_file transferred for RDMA
  migration: Use qemu_file_transferred_noflush() for block migration.
  migration: Refactor repeated call of yank_unregister_instance
  migration-test: simplify shmem_opts handling
  migration-test: dirtylimit checks for x86_64 arch before
  migration-test: Add bootfile_create/delete() functions
