Hi,
The following patch introduce a mechanism to test the correctness of the
vmstate's information. This is achieved by saving the device states'
information to a memory buffer and then clearing the states, followed by
loading the data from the saved memory buffer.
v2 --> v3
* Made the devices list generic by removing the qdevified format. But, it only
supports the qdevified devices.
* Extended the SaveStateEntry for the VMstate testing purpose.
* Replaced DPRINTF with trace_##name functions.
* Squashed all of the hmp and qmp patches into one.
* Rectified some mistakes in the documentation of the hmp and qmp interface
explanations (the ones which I have introduced).
* Now, I am relying only on the devices that have been qdevified. I am not using
the qemu_system_reset() function for resetting the devices.
v1 --> v2:
* Added a list containing all the devices that have been qdevified and gets
registered with the SaveStateEntry.
* Have provided a way to use either qemu_system_reset functionality or my
own version of qdev entries untill all the devices have been qdevified.
This gives us the privilege to test any device we want.
* Rename some of the variables. I am very bad at naming convention, thanks to
community, specially Eric, I try to improve it with every version.
* On Eric's advice, I have separated all of the qmp and hmp interface patches.
* Changed the DPRINTF statements as required.
