1.) snapshot_start
* this is the first part of do_savevm() till vm_stop
2.) dump_vm_state (or maybe we do this is step 1)
* write state to some fd
>> qmp command timeout during the vm_state dump. Maybe this is same thing that at the end of a livemigration?
I'm looking for a way for nexenta.
One way : extend the volume size, and write the vm_state dump at the end . (I don't know how to tell the beginning sector)
Second way : create a nexenta volume to write to dump.
3.) snapshot_drive
* simply call bdrv_snapshot_create(bs1, sn) for a single drive
4.) snapshot_end
>>* resume the VM (maybe this is a normal resume, so we can use the existing 'cont'
>>command)
I confirm that "cont" command works
Also, I think we need to implement some new status , as monitor command are async,
we need to check when the command is finished.
