Is it possible to save the state of a virtual machine under QEMU/KVM/libvirt (on x86-64) to disk like you can on vmware Player, that means:
- The RAM and CPU/system state is save to disk
- The OS is stopped from the outside (no suspend to disk within the VM)
- The VM can be continued after rebooting the host?
If it is possible, would it need special drivers within the VM? Which one for Linux and Windows 7 guests?
