The save/load VM feature is not finished because not all devices save 
their state (it should be easy to finish). There are also some problems 
if you load a VM on a computer with a different clock speed from the one 
on which it was saved. Moreover, no backward compatibility between the 
saved state file format is currently maintainted.
