[COLO-Frame,v16,29/35] COLO: Separate the process of saving/loading ram and device state

Commit Message

Zhanghailiang April 8, 2016, 6:26 a.m. UTC

We separate the process of saving/loading ram and device state when do
checkpoint, we add new helpers for save/load ram/device. With this change,
we can directly transfer ram from master to slave without using
QEMUSizeBufferas as assistant, which also reduce the size of extra memory
been used during checkpoint.

Besides, we move the colo_flush_ram_cache to the proper position after the
above change.
