By default VFIO migration is set to auto, which will support live
migration if the migration capability is set *and* also dirty page
tracking is supported.
For testing purposes one can force enable without dirty page tracking
via enable-migration=on, but that option is generally left for testing
purposes.
So starting with IOMMU dirty tracking it can use to acomodate the lack of
VF dirty page tracking allowing us to minimize the VF requirements for
migration and thus enabling migration by default for those too.
