Not all the drivers implement the feature, but it already works enough to be usable. The saved virtual machine state does not include a description of its configuration, so when restoring the virtual machine, you must ensure that you have the same virtual configuration. - First debug commands in the monitor: 'stop' (stop the VM), 'cont' (resume execution of the VM), 'gdbserver' (enable the integrated gdbserver stub at any point). - Timer API for the device drivers (similar to the Linux kernel timers). It will enable the use of a virtual cycle counter to have a fully deterministic emulation (useful for debugging). Fabrice.
