[PATCH v2 1/3] qemu: don't pause vm when creating internal snapshot

[Nikolay Shirokovskiy]

From: Maxim Nestratov <mnestratov at virtuozzo.com>

The pause was introduced in [1] in ancient times when probably distro's
QEMU does not have RESUME event. Yet the event was in the upstream QEMU at
the time version according to [2].

So the event is supported since QEMU version 0.13 which is much older
then oldest currently supported 2.11.0 version and we can remove manual
pause/resume. Except for the halt case.
