I'm not keen on having a plethora of different formats in qemu, especially if 
they are proprietary or poorly documented.  As long as it's done properly it 
should be straight forwarded to reconstruct everything else (vritual 
addresses, other formats) with offline debug tools.

What you actually want to do is use the the existing snapshot/savevm 
mechanism, and postprocess that into whatever format you want.
