Interesting paper. There are patches to capture network traffic to a
file and some I/O can be captured by recompiling with debug code
enabled. Some of this can be replayed (just keyboard and mouse) using
the monitor interface, but not for other I/O.

Support of record/replay should not be too difficult to add. I haven't
looked, but the live migration stuff in Xen could be a good starting
point.
