[COLO-Frame,v18,28/34] COLO: Separate the process of saving/loading ram and device state

Commit Message

Zhanghailiang Aug. 3, 2016, 12:26 p.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 primary side to secondary side without
using channel-buffer as assistant, which also reduce the size of extra memory
was used during checkpoint.

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