[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC v2 00/12] VMState testing

[Sanidhya Kashyap <sanidhya.iiith@gmail.com>]

Hi,

The following patch introduce a mechanism to test the correctness of the
vmstate's information. This is achieved by saving the device states'
information to a memory buffer and then clearing the states, followed by
loading the data from the saved memory buffer.

v1 --> v2:

* Added a list containing all the devices that have been qdevified and gets
  registered with the SaveStateEntry.
* Have provided a way to use either qemu_system_reset functionality or my
  own version of qdev entries untill all the devices have been qdevified.
  This gives us the privilege to test any device we want.
* Rename some of the variables. I am very bad at naming convention, thanks to
  community, specially Eric, I try to improve it with every version.
* On Eric's advice, I have separated all of the qmp and hmp interface patches.
* Changed the DPRINTF statements as required.
