[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 07/12] Add XBZRLE to ram_save_block and ram_save_live

[Orit Wasserman]

In the outgoing migration check to see if the page is cached and
changed, then send compressed page by using save_xbrle_page function.
In the incoming migration check to see if RAM_SAVE_FLAG_XBZRLE is set
and decompress the page (by using load_xbrle function).
