Hi Brian, Elia,
Sounds interesting! Happy to hop on a call to discuss. Mornings (EST)
tend to work best for me.

Hi Brian and Elia,
Alexander investigated ways to reset state between fuzzing runs and has
experience in this area. I suggest talking to him about it.

QEMU snapshotting

[Brian Cain]

Alexander, Bandan, Paolo, Stefan, Manuel,

Hi, I'm Brian and I maintain the Hexagon arch for QEMU.  Elia, a security 
researcher at Qualcomm is exploring ways to fuzz some hexagon OS kernel with 
QEMU and in particular leveraging snapshotting, inspired by your research and 
more.  I'm not an expert on the details, but I'd like to make an introduction 
and see if there's an opportunity for us to learn from one another.  Maybe we 
can have a call to kick things off?
