KVM VM Snapshots
Greetings,
Back in January there was a push to integrate the KVM snapshotting
ability into the 9.10 trunk. I think this did get merged in, but 9.10
doesn't seem to be anywhere near release yet, so wondering if the devs
can push the KVM snapshotting patch into the 9.2 trunk and release as a
minor update?

I'd wait until the official release is posted. The work in progress upgrade docs are here: http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-release-notes/en/4.10/upgrade/upgrade-4.9.html
Upgrading the agent won't take your VMs down. 4.10 does require an upgrade for all virtual routers though, so this upgrade will be ,pre involved than the others recently (the last virtual router upgrade was 4.6).

Are there any upgrade guides from 4.9 to 4.10? I’m looking for them in the docs but there doesn’t seem to be anything there yet...

The new VM Snapshot functionality for KVM supports disk and memory snaps. This means you can recover a VM to a port in time, so assuming that's what you are asking, yes it's hot.
It does rely on QCOW2 disk formats right now.
