Checkpointed streams need to signal the end of a consistent view of VM state,
and the start of the libxl data.

The above paragraph needs deleting.  It was my mistake for not deleting
it in my series.

Ok, will delete it.

+If the stream is embedded in a higher level toolstack stream, the
+CHECKPOINT record marks the end of the libxc portion of the stream
+and the stream is handed back to the higher level for further
+processing.
+
+The higher level stream may then hand the stream back to libxc to
+process another set of records for the next consistent VM state
+snapshot.  This next set of records may be terminated by another
+CHECKPOINT record or an END record.
