Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 0/2 v2] use qemu's dump-guest-meory when vm uses host device

Currently, we use migrate to dump guest's memory. There is one restriction in migrate command: the device's status should be stored in qemu because the device's status should be passed to target machine. If we passthrough a host device to guest, the device's status is stored in the real device. So migrate command will fail. We usually use dump when guest is panicked. So there is no need to store device's status in the vmcore. qemu will have a new monitor command dump-guest-memory to dump guest memory, but it doesn't support async now(it will support later when the common async API is implemented). So I use dump-guest-memory only when the guest uses host device in this patchset. Note: the patchset for qemu is still queued. Luiz has acked, but he waits an ACK from Jan and/or Anthony. They are too busy, and donot reply. Change from v1 to v2: 1. remove the implemention for text mode.
