Hi list,
Is it possible to add a monitor command ``pmemload'' as pmemsave?
I found this could be useful to have qemu-softmmu as a cross debugger
(launch with -s -S command line option), then if we can have a command to
load guest physical memory, we can use cross gdb to do some target debug
which gdb cannot do directly.
Attachment is a trivial patch add pmemload monitor command.
Thanks
baojun
