Is it possible to hold the checkpoint information and acknowledge the
checkpoint right away, without waiting for bdrv_drain_all() or any
Secondory guest activity to complete?
I think this really means falling back to microcheckpointing until the
Secondary guest can checkpoint. Instead of a blocking vm_stop() we
would prevent vcpus from running and when the last pending I/O finishes
the Secondary could apply the last checkpoint. This approach does not
block QEMU (the monitor, etc).
