http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/137732/ (PATCH v4)

It's basically about how to deal with variable-sized arrays. (Alex
mentioned it on one call around November.) I found ways to deal with
subsets of arrays embedded within the struct and variable-sized list of
pointers to structs but no solution for a malloc()'ed array of structs.
Maybe I'm just too stupid to see. Anyway, no one commented since Xmas.

Igor posted (and refined for v2) a patch with a callback-based approach
that I find promising. From my view, unofficially Juan is the VMState
guy, he's been cc'ed. Are we lacking an official maintainer that cares?
Or is Juan the official, undocumented maintainer but simply busy?

SUSE's interest is making AHCI migratable, and my VMState workaround for
that is simply ugly:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/133066/ (RFC)

Therefore I'm waiting for some resolution.

Regards,
Andreas
