Yep, it should be easy to skip blocks during migration based on a flag
here.  I guess that probably means you'd also want a flag when you alloc
the block, so maybe it should be:

qemu_ram_alloc(DeviceState *dev, const char *name, ram_addr_t size, int flags)

Best to make that change now, then we can add it to the RAMBlock as we need.
