Quoting my reply to a prior similar patch:

    savevm and loadvm are HMP only precisely because an exact QMP
    equivalent wouldn't be a sane interface, and designing a sane QMP
    interface would be work.  Things that won't do for QMP include
    automatic selection of the block device receiving the VM state, and
    synchronous operation.

    Building blocks might be a better fit for QMP than a
    one-size-fits-all savevm command.
