For virtio-mem, we want to have the plugged/unplugged state of memory blocks available before migrating any actual RAM content, and perform sanity checks before touching anything on the destination. This information is immutable on the migration source while migration is active, We want to use this information for proper preallocation support with migration: currently, we don't preallocate memory on the migration target, and especially with hugetlb, we can easily run out of hugetlb pages during RAM migration and will crash (SIGBUS) instead of catching this gracefully via preallocation. Migrating device state via a VMSD before we start iterating is currently impossible: the only approach that would be possible is avoiding a VMSD and migrating state manually during save_setup(), to be restored during load_state(). Let's allow for migrating device state via a VMSD early, during the setup phase in qemu_savevm_state_setup(). To keep it simple, we indicate applicable VMSD's using an "early_setup" flag. Note that only very selected devices (i.e., ones seriously messing with RAM setup) are supposed to make use of such early state migration. While at it, also use a bool for the "unmigratable" member.
