Hello Wen,
please CC qemu-devel too for QEMU patches.

Could you please explain why do you need this command?

Is the main issue that there are no QMP commands today to load the state
of a VM? It looks like that for vm restore we are using the -incoming
command line option, but there is no alternative over QMP.

Assuming that the state file only contains device states, why don't you
just call qemu_loadvm_state to implement the command?
