Yep, it's totally correct. If user clears after copying, it may lose dirty info.
I'll enhance the doc.

This optimization is inspired by KVM[1]. The results are differ by different workload of guest.
In theory, the higher dirty rate the better result. But sorry that I tested it on our FPGA, the dirty
rate is heavily limited, so the result is not obvious.

Yes, good suggestion. We should give userspace a choice.

Thanks,
