COLO: Introduce checkpointing protocol
We need communications protocol of user-defined to control the checkpointing process. The new checkpointing request is started by Primary VM, and the interactive process like below: Checkpoint synchronizing points: Primary Secondary initial work 'checkpoint-ready' <-------------------- @ 'checkpoint-request' @ --------------------> Suspend (Only in hybrid mode) 'checkpoint-reply' <-------------------- @ Suspend&Save state 'vmstate-send' @ --------------------> Send state Receive state 'vmstate-received' <-------------------- @ Release packets Load state 'vmstate-load' <-------------------- @ Resume Resume (Only in hybrid mode) Start Comparing (Only in hybrid mode) NOTE: 1) '@' who sends the message 2) Every sync-point is synchronized by two sides with only one handshake(single direction) for low-latency. If more strict synchronization is required, a opposite direction sync-point should be added. 3) Since sync-points are single direction, the remote side may go forward a lot when this side just receives the sync-point. 4) For now, we only support 'periodic' checkpoint, for which the Secondary VM is not running, later we will support 'hybrid' mode.
