[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 12/15] savevm: Create a new continue flag to avoid resending block name

[Alex Williamson]

Allows us to compress the protocol a bit by setting a flag on the
offset which indicates we're still working within the same block
as last time.  That way we can avoid sending the block name for
every page.  Suggested by Anthony Liguori.
