This series adds high-level wrappers to handle migration state; they consist
of a Migratable<> type that implements the snapshotting technique mentioned
at KVM Forum. The concepts are also discussed at
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/8076a298-1cd9-4c90-a64c-f65004753...@redhat.com/T/
The wrappers (should) make it possible to easily implement migration of
thread-safe devices. I say "should" because, even though there are tests
included in the series, they are anything but "battle tested". The first
device to use this will be HPET.
This is an interesting step in enabling usage of Rust in QEMU; instead of
just wrapping existing C APIs, it provides a new interface that deals
better with unique features of the Rust language. In other words,
something like Migratable<> and ToMigrationState might hypothetically
exist even if QEMU was written in Rust from scratch.
