[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] QMP wrappers for VM snapshot operations

["Denis V. Lunev" <den@openvz.org>]

EFI based VM with pflash storage for NVRAM could not be snapshoted as
libvirt configures storage as 'raw' and writable. OK, this is a libvirt
problem.

Another problem is that libvirt can not detect this failure at all
as it uses HMP for this operation. This create snapshot/delete snapshot
sequence passes silently.

The patchset adds QMP wrappers for the purpose.

Changes from v2:
- patches 1/2 are resplit to move processing HMP specific handling
  of snapshot name generation to exclusive HMP code
- removed all '.' at the end of error_setg strings
- fixed too long lines with '-' in qmp-commands.hx
- error_setg_errno errno passing is fixed (-ret)
- fixed logical error in hmp_loadvm (vm_start on error)
- NOT switched to error_prepend code (it is not yet merged). Can we do this
  later? This will make my life easear merging code to our downstream.

Changes from v1:
- cosmetic fixes suggested by Markus. I pray I have added all of them
- patch 5 is rewritten completely. Original one was deadbeaf
