+
+ Master advises slave that a transition to postcopy mode has happened.
+ The slave must ensure that shared memory is registered with userfaultfd
+ to cause faulting of non-present pages.
+
+ This is always sent sometime after a VHOST_USER_POSTCOPY_ADVISE, and
+ thus only when VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_PAGEFAULT is supported.
