Re: [Qemu-devel] register_savevm()

Does loadvm create new virtual devices (dev.init(), dev.realize(), etc.) for the vm to run onto and then load VMStateDescription?

These are used for:
 * live migration
 * VM state save/load (eg via monitor 'savevm' and 'loadvm'
commands or command line -loadvm option).

Note that the register_savevm() function is legacy and should
not be used in any new code. Devices should use VMStateDescription
structs instead.
