qemu in https://github.com/mjsmar/arm-dirtylog-tests/tree/master/v7/test
is instrumented to save the guest ram on source and destination.

On source it dumps ram to file (ramimage0) from ram VMHandler
save_live_complete, right after source has stopped iterating and
remaining memory (and other VM state) to transfer is within
downtime threshold (about 70-90mS).

On destination guest ram is dumped to file qemu_loadvm_state() just
before the guest is started.

It works for 'machvirt' and 'VExpress' machine models, the start
addresses are hardcoded while walking ram_list searching for a matching
RAMBlock.

Unless you have armv7 hardware I'm not sure how you can reproduce
it, it may be possible on Fast Models but I have not tried it, most
likely it would be extremely slow.
