Hypervisor Partition Save and Restore

The hypervisor provides a means to store certain state of a partition and later restore this state. A caller can use the partition save and restore feature to resume execution of the partition at a later time--potentially on a different piece of hardware.

The hypervisor implements functions that partitions can use to save and restore state. For more information about these functions, see Partition Save and Restore Functions.
