During post-copy migration (once it actually switches to post-copy mode) dirty memory pages are continued to be migrated iteratively, while the destination can explicitly request a specific page to be migrated before the iterative process gets to it (which happens when a guest wants to read a page that was not migrated yet). Without the postcopy-preempt capability enabled such pages need to wait until all other pages already queued are transferred. Enabling this capability will instruct the hypervisor to create a separate migration channel for explicitly requested pages so that they can preempt the queue.
You should state more explicitly that this requires the change in connection method from MIGRATION_DEST_CONNECT_SOCKET to MIGRATION_DEST_SOCKET
This is enabled for all post-copy migration as long as the capability is supported on both sides of migration.
