Since you seem to be intending to rethink the "frozen" state, I'm just 
scanning through the series from patch 8 on.

While this patch doesn't seem to have changed much conceptually since 
the last version I reviewed, with it applied to master, qemu fails to 
build due to Fam's blockdev-backup series (some new calls to 
backup_start() which have to be adapted).
