What's the advantage of having mmap and non-mmap overlapped regions?
Isn't it better to have data section either mapped or trapped?

This is used during resuming, data_size 0 indicates end of data.

This is requirement mentioned above qemu_savevm_state_iterate() which 
calls .save_live_iterate.

/*	
  * this function has three return values:
  *   negative: there was one error, and we have -errno.
  *   0 : We haven't finished, caller have to go again
  *   1 : We have finished, we can go to complete phase
  */
int qemu_savevm_state_iterate(QEMUFile *f, bool postcopy)

This is to serialize savevm_state.handlers (or in other words devices).

Thanks,
