* qemu-kvm tree: working towards upstream merge

not much left, mostly device assignment

* Migration: vmstate and visitors, decoupling the wire format
why not ASN.1

Curiosity kills me of waiting for next week's meeting to get the answer

ASN.1 is an IDL format. It's encoded in many ways including BER. I think there's wide spread agreement that the next migration wire format should be encoded with BER which means it could be described via ASN.1 but I don't think we intend on using ASN.1 within the code base.

I don't think using ASN.1 to describe devices makes sense. There really aren't very good Open Source ASN.1 compilers. I also don't think the syntax is flexible enough to fully describe a device either.

* qtest: test cases wanted
