There is a need to add some more fields to VirtIODevice that should be migrated (broken status, endianness). The problem is that we do not want to break compatibility while adding a new feature... This issue has been addressed in the generic VMState code with the use of optional subsections. As a *temporary* alternative to port the whole virtio migration code to VMState, this patch mimics a similar subsectionning ability for virtio.
Since each virtio device is streamed in its own section, the idea is to stream subsections between the end of the device section and the start of the next sections. This allows an older QEMU to complain and exit when fed with subsections: Unknown savevm section type 5 Error -22 while loading VM state All users of virtio_load()/virtio_save() need to be patched because the subsections are streamed AFTER the device itself.
