PATCH 1/1 stubdom: add live migration support

stubdom: add live migration support by having ioemu just notify the hypervisor about memory changes.

The impact on disk performance is typically making it from 71.5MBps down to 70.5Mbps during the live migration. The impact on network performance is actually even hard to measure.

Tim suggested to use the same approach when qemu is running in dom0, which permits to get rid of all the logdirty stuff between the saver, xenstore and qemu. That would imply dropping the init_qemu_maps and qemu_flip_buffer parameters of xenguest.h's xc_domain_save. Would that API change be acceptable?

Yes, this struck me as a sensible cleanup when I saw this patch. Please make it so.
