[libvirt] save/ restore a domain with kvm

[Zvi Dubitzky]

Here is the /var/log/libvirt/qemu/vm_dubi2.log  file.  It shows a trailing 
 '-incoming stdio'  which is  rejected  by QEMU,
The rest is correct and is probably the translation of the XML.
The XML as appears in the saved file  vm_dubi2.sav  (also below) looks 
fine . But that file has some prefix  binary section  which I do not know 
its content 



Again , the saved VM state file is :



thanks
