These typedefs are likely to collide with system headers.  Please prefix
the name.

That said, I don't think Start, Stop, Checkpoint, GetError are
necessary.  Just declare the prototypes in struct ReplicationOps.  No
user passes single function pointers, they always pass ReplicationOps.
Therefore it's not necessary to declare types for these functions at
all.

Please add doc comments that explain the semantics of these functions.
For examples, see include/qom/object.h.  This documentation should allow
someone implementing a new replication listener to understand the
constraints and the purpose of these functions.
