Hi, sorry it took some time to get to this, I had just left for vacation
when you first posted.
I think it's ok:
{
"field": "unused",
"version_id": 1,
"field_exists": false,
"size": 512
},
vs.
{
"field": "vendor_data",
"version_id": 0,
"field_exists": false,
"num": 512,
"size": 1
},
The unused field was introduced in 2016 so there's no chance of
migrating a QEMU that old to/from 9.1.
