/** @page pg_ssm        SSM - The Saved State Manager
 *
 * The Saved State Manager (SSM) implements facilities for saving and loading
 * a VM state in a structural manner using callbacks for each collection of
 * data which needs saving.
 *
 * At init time each of the VM components will register data entities which
 * they need to save and restore. Each entity have a unique name (ascii) and
 * a set of callbacks associated with it. The name will be used to identify
 * the entity during restore. The callbacks are for the two operations, save
 * and restore. There are three callbacks for each of the two - a prepare,
 * a execute and a what-now.
 *
 * The SSM provides a number of APIs for encoding and decoding the data.
 *
 * @see grp_ssm
