[PATCH v20210601 17/38] tools/guest: save: move local_pages array

[Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Remove allocation from hotpath, move local_pages array into preallocated space.

Adjust the code to use the src page as is in case of HVM.
In case of PV the page may need to be normalised, use an private memory
area for this purpose.
