+
+    Introduce ``virDomainDirtyRateCalcFlags`` as parameter of
+    ``virDomainStartDirtyRateCalc``, which is used to specify the mode of
+    dirty page rate calculation.
+
+    Add ``--mode`` option to ``virsh domdirtyrate-calc``, which can be
+    either of the following 3 options:
+    ``page-sampling, dirty-bitmap, dirty-ring``.
+
+    Add ``calc_mode`` field for dirtyrate statistics retured by
+    ``virsh domstats --dirtyrate``, also add ``vCPU dirtyrate`` if
+    ``dirty-ring`` mode was used in last measurement.
