It seems like you're saying you're only going to reserve version number
7, and not the 4 bytes of savevm we're using for version 7 here.
Couldn't we fix this by adding a dummy patch to qemu to bump to version
7, and push/pop a 4 byte zero from the savevm?  Then we could change the
code below to >= 7.  Qemu should probably puke on a savevm image with
non-zero in this location until the kvm code gets merged.  Looks like
one byte would be more than sufficient if we wanted to make that change
now too.  Thanks,

Alex
