Hmm, there are two operations:
1. save qemu state to dm_savefile
2. transfer qemu state to dm_savefile

The function libxl__domain_suspend_device_model() does operation 1, and
the function libxl__domain_save_device_model() does operation 2.

The function libxl__domain_suspend_device_model() is called when we suspend
the guest, and it only uses the filed dm_savefile.

I think we should split it out: save qemu state to dm_savefile if the caller
needs to do it.

Thanks
