+ ``dirty-ring-size=n``
+ When the KVM accelerator is used, it controls the size of the per-vCPU
+ dirty page ring buffer (number of entries for each vCPU). It should
+ be a value that is power of two, and it should be 1024 or bigger (but
+ still less than the maximum value that the kernel supports). 4096
+ could be a good initial value if you have no idea which is the best.
+ Set this value to 0 to disable the feature. By default, this feature
+ is disabled (dirty-ring-size=0). When enabled, KVM will instead
+ record dirty pages in a bitmap.
