libxl probably needs to provide the necessary "hooks" so that snapshots 
can have synchronized cpu/mem/disk states.. or what do you think? 

.. and the necessary bits for being able to do storage live migration..
this is an often asked feature. 

If you have thoughts how to best implement these, let us know! 
It'd be good to have these available also in xl, not only on the higher level 
toolstacks.
