  xen: do not allocate RAM during INMIGRATE runstate
  xen mapcache: check if memory region has moved.
  xen: record physmap changes to xenstore
  Set runstate to INMIGRATE earlier
  Introduce "xen-save-devices-state"

+
+QEMU has code to load/save the state of the guest that it is running.
+These are two complementary operations.  Saving the state just does
+that, saves the state for each device that the guest is running.
+
+These operations are normally used with migration (see migration.txt),
+however it is also possible to save the state of all devices to file,
+without saving the RAM or the block devices of the VM.
+
+This operation is called "xen-save-devices-state" (see
+QMP/qmp-commands.txt)
+
+
+The binary format used in the file is the following:
