xl: support for leaving domain paused after save
New feature to allow xl save to leave a domain paused after its memory has been saved. This is to allow disk snapshots of domU to be taken that exactly correspond to the memory state at save time. Once the snapshot(s) have been taken or whatever, the domain can be unpaused in the usual manner. Usage: xl save -p <domid> <filespec> Signed-off-by: Ian Murray <murrayie@yahoo.co.uk> Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>
