This was flagged by a nightly run of the static checker when this
series was pulled. On a 'before' tree, ie one w/o the patches, do
this:
qemu -dump-vmstate before.json
and for after:
qemu -dump-vmstate after.json
then,
python ./scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py -s before.json -d after.json
and that shows the output from above.
