[Qemu-devel] Use TMPDIR environment Variable for Snapshot Mode

[Oliver Adler]

Hi Folks,
thank you VERY MUCH for bringing qemu to us.

I would like to see this little modification, honoring the
setting of the TMPDIR environment variable. Then I can use
the snapshot mode even if my /tmp directory is small in
size:

The diff is based on the qemu-0.9.0 release.
