Research direction

Start by locating the existing documentation for saved-state compatibility, protobuf-based analysis tools, and the release process in the OpenVMM repository. Done means documenting forward and backward guarantees, how to determine changes between builds, and the release steps for using the tools and removing obsolete fallback or fixup code.
