Right now, this is very similar to qemu_savevm_state_begin and _iterate, 
but not quite.  Perhaps you could abstract it to a single function that 
could be used everywhere live handlers are used.  For example,

/* section says which header to write; incremental == true forces to
   pass SECTION_PART instead of SECTION_START. In code:

if (section == QEMU_VM_SECTION_START) {
    stage = incremental ? QEMU_VM_SECTION_PART : QEMU_VM_SECTION_START;
} else {
    assert(incremental);
    stage = section;
}

   */
int qemu_savevm_state_live(Monitor *mon, QEMUFile *f, int section,
                           int incremental)

this code is straight from qemu_savevm_state_complete and should be 
moved into its own function.
