* page data : PAGE_SIZE bytes for each page marked present in PFN
* array
*
+ * In case of Remus with checkpoint compression, since the compressed page data
+ * can be of variable size, only the pfn array is sent with a +ve chunk type.
+ *
* If the chunk type is -ve then chunk consists of one of a number of
* metadata types. See definitions of XC_SAVE_ID_* below.
*
+ * If the chunk type is -ve and equals XC_SAVE_ID_COMPRESSED_DATA, then the
+ * chunk consists of compressed page data, in the following format:
+ *
+ * unsigned long : Size of the compressed chunk to follow
+ * compressed page data : variable length data of size indicated above.
+ * This chunk consists of compressed page data. The
+ * number of pages in one chunk varies with respect
+ * to amount of space available in the sender's
+ * output buffer.
+ *
+ * There can be one or more chunks with type XC_SAVE_ID_COMPRESSED_DATA.
+ *
* If chunk type is 0 then body phase is complete.
