To answer your question, it should be possible to implement.
The down side is that after going into KVM to make the guest state to
consistent, we need to go back to qemu to actually transfer the guest,
and this bounce would introduce another overhead if I'm understanding
correctly.
Yes. It should be around a microsecond or so, given you will issue I/O
after this I don't think this will affect performance.
And yes, all I need is some consistent state to resume VM from, which
must be able to continue I/O operations, like writing to disks and
sending ack over the network. If I can guarantee this, sending the VM
state after completing output is acceptable.
I suggest you start with this. If it turns out performance is severely
impacted, we can revisit instruction completion. If performance is
satisfactory, then we'll be able to run Kemari with older kernels.
