hmm - then why not enhance those hd-images to contain several chunks of data
someting like:
- stream-table
- timestamp of freeze - if older than last modification of the hd-image
ignore freeze status and start up normally
- stream 1: hd-image
- stream 2: place to hold freeze-information of the virtual cpu
- stream 3: freeze-information of the emulated graphic-card (caches or whatever)
- ...
or maybe enhance hd-support for large disk-images and use a partition on it
like those bios' suspend features
just some random ideas,
