I actually worked on getting most of the fsfreeze ported over yesterday, 
were they any major changes from the last set of patches other than the 
porting work? If so, feel free to send the patches my way and I'll hack 
on those a bit, otherwise I plan to have the fsfreeze stuff included in 
the next re-spin later this week.

The main target will be QMP for the initial patches. But ideally the HMP 
commands we add will have a pretty close correspondence with QMP.
