[Qemu-devel] [RFC] qemu-ga: Introduce guest-hibernate command

[Luiz Capitulino]

This is basically suspend to disk on a Linux guest.

This is an RFC because I did it as simple as possible and I'm open to
suggestions...

Now, while testing this or even "echo disk > /sys/power/state" I get several
funny results. Some times qemu just dies after printing that message:

 "Guest moved used index from 20151 to 1"

Some times it doesn't die, but I'm unable to log into the guest: I type
username & password but the terminal kind of locks (the shell doesn't run).

Some times it works...
