Re: [PATCH v4 1/5] xen/common: introduce a new framework for save/restore of 'domain' context



Hi,

To allow enlightened HVM guests (i.e. those that have PV drivers) to be

state such as event channel state, grant entry state, etc.

Currently there is a framework (entered via the hvm_save/load() functions)
that allows a domain's 'HVM' (architectural) state to be transferred but
'PV' state is also common with pure PV guests and so this framework is not
really suitable.

This patch adds the new public header and low level implementation of a new
common framework, entered via the domain_save/load() functions. Subsequent
patches will introduce other parts of the framework, and code that will
make use of it within the current version of the libxc migration stream.

This patch also marks the HVM-only framework as deprecated in favour of the
new framework.
