How much memory can a non-root program use by default?

Do we really want to do this check here? I think this is really too
late.
You are not patching migrate_params_check().
I think that the proper way of doing this is something like:
if (params->zerocopy &&
(params->parameters.multifd_compression != MULTIFD_COMPRESSION_NONE ||
migrate_use_tls())) {
error_setg(&err,
"Zerocopy only available for non-compressed non-TLS
multifd migration");
return false;
}
You have to do the equivalent of multifd_compression and tls enablement,
to see that zerocopy is not enabled, of course.
I would prefer to check for QIO_CHANNEL_FEATUR_WRITE_ZEROCPY there, but
I can't see a way of doing that without a qio.
Later, Juan.
