[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 0/5] implement suspend to disk

[Dominik Csapak]

implement suspend to disk for vms

the idea is the following:

add a 'suspend' lock
halt execution of the vm
save the vmstate to a file/disk/etc.
hard poweroff the vm (qmp quit)

on the next start check for 'suspend' lock
resume from saved state

the lock prevents any changes to the vm that would prevent a resume
(config change, migration, etc)

this series makes the most sense with my series[0] to show the lock in the
tree, since then the user sees which vms are suspended

also i will send a series that includes the lock in the vm status,
so we can show it in the vm summary also
