Currently there's no way to unregister a savevm callback, so
e.g. if a NIC is hot-unplugged and a savevm is issued, we'll
segfault.

This is mainly for consistency, since we don't want
anything outside of savevm setting it explicitly. There
are current no users of that in qemu tree, but there
are potential candidates on kvm-userspace. And avi
is a nice guy, let's be nice with him.

KVM's live migration support included support for exec: URLs, allowing system
state to be written or received via an arbitrary popen()ed subprocess. This
provides a convenient way to pipe state through a compression algorithm or an
arbitrary network transport on its way to its destination, and a convenient way
to write state to disk; libvirt's qemu driver currently uses migration to exec:
targets for this latter purpose.
This version of the patch refactors now-common code from migrate-tcp.c into
migrate.c.

This patch fixes migration so that it works on Win32. This requires using
socket specific calls since sockets cannot be treated like file descriptors
on win32.

This patch allows QEMUFile's read and write operations to return
negative error codes. This is necessary to detect things like closed
streams during live migration.
It also removes unused code for QEMUFileFD write path. Finally, it
makes sure to avoid attempting to flush an output buffer if the file
is only being used for input. This was spotted by Uri Lublin.

The current savevm/loadvm protocol has some draw backs. It does not support
the ability to do progressive saving which means it cannot be used for live
checkpointing or migration. The sections sizes are 32-bit integers which
means that it will not function when using more than 4GB of memory for a guest.
It attempts to seek within the output file which means it cannot be streamed.
The current protocol also is pretty lax about how it supports forward
compatibility. If a saved section version is greater than what the restore
code support, the restore code generally treats the saved data as being in
whatever version it supports. This means that restoring a saved VM on an older
version of QEMU will likely result in silent guest failure.
This patch introduces a new version of the savevm protocol. It has the
following features:
* Support for progressive save of sections (for live checkpoint/migration)
* An asynchronous API for doing save
* Support for interleaving multiple progressive save sections
(for future support of memory hot-add/storage migration)
* Fully streaming format
* Strong section version checking

To support live migration, we override QEMUFile so that instead of writing to
disk, the save/restore state happens over a network connection.
This patch makes QEMUFile read/write operations function pointers so that we
can override them for live migration.
