The bitmaps are saved into qcow2 file format. It provides both
'internal' and 'external' dirty bitmaps feature:
- for qcow2 drives we can store bitmaps in the same file
- for other formats we can store bitmaps in the separate qcow2 file
QCow2 header is extended by fields 'nb_dirty_bitmaps' and
'dirty_bitmaps_offset' like with snapshots.
Proposed command line syntax is the following:
-dirty-bitmap [option1=val1][,option2=val2]...
Available options are:
name The name for the bitmap (necessary).
file The file to load the bitmap from.
file_id When specified with 'file' option, then this file will
be available through this id for other -dirty-bitmap
options when specified without 'file' option, then it
is a reference to 'file', specified with another
-dirty-bitmap option, and it will be used to load the
bitmap from.
drive The drive to bind the bitmap to. It should be specified
as 'id' suboption of one of -drive options. If nor
'file' neither 'file_id' are specified, then the bitmap
will be loaded from that drive (internal dirty bitmap).
granularity The granularity for the bitmap. Not necessary, the
default value may be used.
enabled on|off. Default is 'on'. Disabled bitmaps are not
changing regardless of writes to corresponding drive.
Examples:
qemu -drive file=a.qcow2,id=disk -dirty-bitmap name=b,drive=disk
qemu -drive file=a.raw,id=disk \
-dirty-bitmap name=b,drive=disk,file=b.qcow2,enabled=off

hbitmap: store / restore
qcow2: add dirty-bitmaps feature
