Uh, oh, we change the prototype of host_from_stream_offset() but not the
function itself? Strange, no?

You can move this bit of code here in a different patch, makes review easier.
all_zero can also be on that patch.

As discussed on irc, I still think that having a RAM_SAVE_HOST_PAGE make
everything much, much clearer and easier, but I agree that is not
trivial with current code.
You are reusingh ram_load, but have lots and lots of
if (postcopy_running) {
} else {
}
I think that it would be easier to just have:
if (postcopy_running) {
ram_load_postcopy()
} else {
ram_load_precopy{}
}
You duplicate a bit of code, but remove lots of ifs from the equation,
not sure which one is really easier. I just hate bits like the
following one.

Hahahaha, just change the if or the variable name.
having a
if (!cond) {
f1();
} else {
f2();
}
makes no sense, better to have
if (cond) {
f2()
} else {
f1()
}
no?
The patch itself is ok.
Thanks, Juan.
