do_loadvm(), which implements the 'loadvm' Monitor command, pauses
the emulation to load the saved VM, however it will only resume
it if the loading succeeds.
In other words, if the user issues 'loadvm' and it fails, the
end result will be an error message and a paused VM.
This seems an undesirable side effect to me because, most of the
time, if a Monitor command fails the best thing we can do is to
leave the VM as it were before the command was executed.
FIXME: This will try to run a potentially corrupted image, the
solution is to split load_vmstate() in two and only keep
the VM paused if qemu_loadvm_state() fails.
