Since Kemari requires transaction-like feature, xc_dom_kemari_save 
should wait acknowledgment from xc_dom_kemari_restore. 
Xc_dom_kemari_restore should also buffer data until complete snapshot 
received from xc_dom_kemari_save.
Because of this reason, there might be large if-else statements if those 
code are merged.

Isn't it make xc_domain_save and xc_domain_restore too complexed?
