We should not load PVM's state directly into SVM, because there maybe some
errors happen when SVM is receving data, which will break SVM.

We need to ensure receving all data before load the state into SVM. We use
an extra memory to cache these data (PVM's ram). The ram cache in secondary side
is initially the same as SVM/PVM's memory. And in the process of checkpoint,
we cache the dirty pages of PVM into this ram cache firstly, so this ram cache
always the same as PVM's memory at every checkpoint, then we flush this cached 
ram
to SVM after we receive all PVM's state.

I suggest you make the name have 'colo' in it; e.g. colo_cache;
'host_cache' is a bit generic.


Hmm, this change makes sense, will update it in next version.

Good idea, will fix in next version, thanks.
