    These patch added a seperated layer to take internal or external snapshots
in a unified way, the granularity is block device, so other functions can
just combine the request and submit, such as group snapshot, savevm.

Total goal are:
    Live back up vm in external or internal image, which need three functions:
1 live snapshot block device internal/external.
2 live save vmstate internal/external.
3 combination of the function unit.

    This serial provide part one.


The design on this series needs to be coordinated with Pavel's
attempts[1] to convert the existing HMP snapshot commands into QMP.  I
don't want to spend too much time reviewing two different divergent
designs that both have the same goal of finally managing snapshots under
QMP.

[1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-01/msg01326.html

    A bit difference: This serial are taking internal/external block
snapshots but Pavel's are focusing are vm whole internal snapshots. It

Pavel's work makes savevm, loadvm and delvm available in QMP. Also note
that we do have blockdev-snapshot-sync. How does this series relate to it?

I don't know if it's just me but, honestly speaking, I'm getting confused
about the various proposals and APIs for snapshots.

IMHO, it's time to go back a bit from code and discuss the status of the
current APIs, what's missing and what the proposals are.

This should also include writing a wiki page, as Anthony has done for
previous ideas (which worked quite well).

  I agree, can you help create an account on qemu wiki for me?
