Description
# Feature Request
Add snapshot support for vhost-user-blk devices.
## Describe the desired solution
Firecracker implements saving and restoring from snapshot VMs that have block devices backed by vhost-user attached.
## Describe possible alternatives
The status quo is VMs having vhost-user-blk devices cannot be snapshotted. We can leave it as is.
## Additional context
[vhost-user-blk basic support](https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/issues/4266)
