Implement zPCI device state migration, consequently enabling migration
of VMs that have emulated PCI devices, whether virtio or not.
Migration is allowed for devices whose function handle has the
FH_SHM_EMUL bit set. For these devices QEMU will save and restore the
state of its zPCI emulator.
This will enable emulated PCI migration starting with s390-ccw-virtio-11.1.
Passthrough devices will continue to block migration.

I was trying to test this patch series, and something i tried was doing
was a save/restore of a VM with just CCW devices. But with this patch
the save/restore of the VM fails with error:
error: Requested operation is not valid: cannot migrate domain:
Migration disabled for emulated zPCI devices on this machine type
I think this is a regression, as the save/restore works with the same
guest definition with current master branch. I also think this may break
live migration for guest with just CCW devices. Something to also note,
by default libvirt auto adds a pci-root controller to the guest
definition [1]. So i wonder if that's tripping up the migration blocker?
