Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v1 00/17] Background snapshots

[Denis Plotnikov]

Hi Peter

I moved the code to the repository 
https://github.com/denis-plotnikov/qemu/tree/background-snapshot-kvm.
the current version includes fixes with respect to your comments for 
version 1.
I moved KVM related patches to the end of the branch (formerly patch 
series).
Since, the KVM patches and the other parts to modify (vhost an others) 
are needless in favor of upcoming userfaltfd,
I would ask you to review the general framework which is able to work 
with tcg.

Thanks in advance!

Denis
