Hrm.  If migration was never supported, why is there a vmstate
description there at all though?

That said, I don't think breaking compat is a problem: that's only an
issue where we actually have versioned machine types, which covers
only pc, pseries, arm virt and a very few others.  I don't think this
device was used on any of them.
