During migration, we would sync bitmap from ram_list.dirty_memory to
RAMBlock.bmap in cpu_physical_memory_sync_dirty_bitmap().

Since we set RAMBlock.bmap and ram_list.dirty_memory both to all 1, this
means at the first round this sync is meaningless and is a duplicated
work.

Leaving RAMBlock->bmap blank on allocating would have a side effect on
migration_dirty_pages, since it is calculated from the result of
cpu_physical_memory_sync_dirty_bitmap(). To keep it right, we need to
set migration_dirty_pages to 0 in ram_state_init().

Ah, you are right.

I think Peter acked this and gave some suggestions.
