Hi all

I'm trying to determine what runtime states to be preserved across
save / restore.

Things that are randomly generated if not set, definitely want to
preserve:
1. guest uuid
2. mac address
3. vtpm uuid

Things might change when guest is running, and seem to be worthy of
preserving:
1. max memory size
2. target memory size
3. CDROM state

As for other things, I think using the stored configurations and let the
remote end make its own decision is sufficient.

Thoughts?

Wei.
