It is blocked by limitations in QEMU. The savevm command doens't have any
way to be told a list of disks to snapshot & this breaks with UEFI as it
considers the NVRAM file a disk to snapshot. So savevm needs rewriting in
QEMU, and then wiring up in libvirt before it can be done in virt-manager.
Unfortunately no one in QEMU seems to care about internal snapshots, only
external snapshots, so there's no ETA :-(

Daniel
