up to that fact and revert to their recommended match of BSD-2-Clause.

This is a userland-only pointer that isn't relevant to the kernel and
doesn't belong in the ioctl structure shared between userland and the
kernel. For the kernel, the old structure for the ioctl is still
supported under COMPAT_FREEBSD13.
This changes vm_snapshot_req() in libvmmapi to accept an explicit
vmctx argument.
It also changes vm_snapshot_guest2host_addr to take an explicit vmctx
argument. As part of this change, move the declaration for this
function and its wrapper macro from vmm_snapshot.h to snapshot.h as it
is a userland-only API.

Most of these arguments were unused. Device models which do need
access to the vmctx in one of these methods can obtain it from the
pi_vmctx member of the pci_devinst argument instead.

The nvlist for a checkpoint request will now look like:

Switch to using an nvlist with nvlist_send()/nvlist_recv() to
communicate from bhyvectl(8) to bhyve(8).
The idea is that a bhyve process receives a command with with a set of
arguments. The nvlist here is structured to reflect that premise.
For example, to snapshot the vm, the expected nvlist looks like:
{ cmd=START_CHECKPOINT, filename="filename" }

Move initialization of the mutex/condition variables required by the
save/restore feature to their own function.
The unix domain socket that facilitates communication between bhyvectl
and bhyve doesn't rely on these variables in order to be functional.

This is a step towards sending messages (other than suspend/checkpoint)
from bhyvectl to bhyve.
Introduce a new struct, ipc_message - this struct stores the type of
message and a union containing message specific structures for the type
of message being sent.

MAX_SNAPSHOT_VMNAME is a macro used to set the size of a character
buffer that stores a filename or the path to a file - this file is used
by the save/restore feature.
Since the file doesn't have anything to do with a vm name, rename
MAX_SNAPSHOT_VMNAME to MAX_SNAPSHOT_FILENAME. Bump the size to PATH_MAX
while here.

Add /var/run/bhyve/ to BSD.var.dist so we don't have to call mkdir when

struct checkpoint_op, enum checkpoint_opcodes, and
MAX_SNAPSHOT_VMNAME are not vmm specific, move them out of the vmmapi
header.
They are used for the save/restore functionality that bhyve(8)
provides and are better suited in usr.sbin/bhyve/snapshot.h
Since bhyvectl(8) requires these, the Makefile for bhyvectl has been
modified to include usr.sbin/bhyve/snapshot.h

Save and restore (also known as suspend and resume) permits a snapshot
to be taken of a guest's state that can later be resumed. In the
current implementation, bhyve(8) creates a UNIX domain socket that is
used by bhyvectl(8) to send a request to save a snapshot (and
optionally exit after the snapshot has been taken). A snapshot
currently consists of two files: the first holds a copy of guest RAM,
and the second file holds other guest state such as vCPU register
values and device model state.
To resume a guest, bhyve(8) must be started with a matching pair of
command line arguments to instantiate the same set of device models as
well as a pointer to the saved snapshot.
While the current implementation is useful for several uses cases, it
has a few limitations. The file format for saving the guest state is
tied to the ABI of internal bhyve structures and is not
self-describing (in that it does not communicate the set of device
models present in the system). In addition, the state saved for some
device models closely matches the internal data structures which might
prove a challenge for compatibility of snapshot files across a range
of bhyve versions. The file format also does not currently support
versioning of individual chunks of state. As a result, the current
file format is not a fixed binary format and future revisions to save
and restore will break binary compatiblity of snapshot files. The
goal is to move to a more flexible format that adds versioning,
etc. and at that point to commit to providing a reasonable level of
compatibility. As a result, the current implementation is not enabled
by default. It can be enabled via the WITH_BHYVE_SNAPSHOT=yes option
for userland builds, and the kernel option BHYVE_SHAPSHOT.
