• The only target dependency for most hardware is sizeof(target_phys_addr_t).
    Build these files into a convenience library, and use that instead of
    building for every target.
    
    Remove and poison various target specific macros to avoid bogus target
    dependencies creeping back in.
    
    Big/Little endian is not handled because devices should not know or care
    about this to start with.

  • KVM's live migration support included support for exec: URLs, allowing system
    state to be written or received via an arbitrary popen()ed subprocess. This
    provides a convenient way to pipe state through a compression algorithm or an
    arbitrary network transport on its way to its destination, and a convenient way
    to write state to disk; libvirt's qemu driver currently uses migration to exec:
    targets for this latter purpose.
    
    This version of the patch refactors now-common code from migrate-tcp.c into
    migrate.c.

  • This patch allows QEMUFile's read and write operations to return 
    negative error codes.  This is necessary to detect things like closed 
    streams during live migration.
    
    It also removes unused code for QEMUFileFD write path.  Finally, it 
    makes sure to avoid attempting to flush an output buffer if the file
    is only being used for input.  This was spotted by Uri Lublin.

  • The current savevm/loadvm protocol has some draw backs.  It does not support
    the ability to do progressive saving which means it cannot be used for live
    checkpointing or migration.  The sections sizes are 32-bit integers which
    means that it will not function when using more than 4GB of memory for a guest.
    It attempts to seek within the output file which means it cannot be streamed.
    The current protocol also is pretty lax about how it supports forward
    compatibility.  If a saved section version is greater than what the restore
    code support, the restore code generally treats the saved data as being in
    whatever version it supports.  This means that restoring a saved VM on an older
    version of QEMU will likely result in silent guest failure.
    
    This patch introduces a new version of the savevm protocol.  It has the
    following features:
    
     * Support for progressive save of sections (for live checkpoint/migration)
     * An asynchronous API for doing save
     * Support for interleaving multiple progressive save sections
       (for future support of memory hot-add/storage migration)
     * Fully streaming format
     * Strong section version checking
