[libvirt] [PATCH] support lzop save compression for qemu

[Charles Duffy <charles@xxxxxxxxx>]

Per prior discussion -- this was, indeed, trivial.

I'm a little disappointed to be breaking the ordering characteristics of 
the enum (as it had been ordered by increasing time requirements and 
decreasing output size), but breaking any save files with the old 
constants in the headers would of course be worse.

Subject: [PATCH] support lzop save compression for qemu

One of the larger disincentives towards use of compression for migrated-out save
files is performance impact. This patch adds support for lzop; CPU time for
compression is about 5x faster than gzip (the next most performant algorithm)
and decompression is about 3x faster.
