long the vCPU was in state of interruptable sleep due to pagefault.
That metric is calculated both for all vCPUs as overlapped value, and
separately for each vCPU. These values are calculated on destination
side. To enable postcopy blocktime calculation, enter following
command on destination monitor:
``migrate_set_capability postcopy-blocktime on``
Postcopy blocktime can be retrieved by query-migrate qmp command.
postcopy-blocktime value of qmp command will show overlapped blocking
time for all vCPU, postcopy-vcpu-blocktime will show list of blocking
time per vCPU.
.. note::
During the postcopy phase, the bandwidth limits set using
``migrate_set_speed`` is ignored (to avoid delaying requested pages that
