[PATCH 0/8] HVM save restore

this patch series(based on r13284) enable HVM save/restore support.

* currently various guest on IA32 and PAE host can work.
* smp guest and PV driver are also okay.

* but 64b HV is broken, because some shadow init issue and new compat domain. i'll fix them over time.

thanks,
edwin

I must admit to being a little disappointed that this work hasn't started looking at a new save/core format but instead just duplicated it to another different one. It would seem to be an ideal opportunity to look at this :(

We'll likely check these patches in as a starting point, but rest assured they are nowhere near our destination point in terms of save image format! The state structures exported by Xen and qemu all need review, and the actual stream format for the save image needs some thought.

john,
we can't resolve all issues at one time:(
i'd like add new image format support after reaching a final&universal solution.
