This patch series adds checkpoint compression functionality to Remus.

Modifications since the first version:
1. As George pointed out, signalling the receiver to enable compression
logic is done through XC_SAVE_ID_ENABLE_COMPRESSION marker, instead of
sending the compression flag as a separate entity. This way, live migration
compatibility is maintained with target machines running older
versions of xen.

2. Added comments at appropriate places to explain the compression
control logic in xc_domain_save/restore.

3. Tended to nitpicks :).
