Well, the main thing I care about currently (or did back before Christmas which is when I sent a patchset to add save/restore to a pile of ARM devices) is simple save-and-restore for debugging use. The rest is just that patches don't get through code review unless they get the vmstate stuff right, and I care about not being rejected :-) I think it's still the case that there are devices in some of the ARM devboards with no save/restore support at all. I would really prefer it if the default for a device was "I do not support this" with the things like USB where somebody has audited them as genuinely needing no save/restore code explicitly marked as "this is OK"; then we could easily determine what needed fixing and not offer a broken facility to users. > Any idea if there are images for testing ARM? There are prebuilt images on Aurelien's website for ARM and others, which is the simplest thing: http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_arm_qemu.php -- PMM
