You don't need \n in error_report (Markus is trying to get rid
of all the existing cases where people do that!)

It's interesting you're saving the devices and then saving the RAM,
where as in a normal migration we always save the RAM first and then
the devices;  I don't _think_ it makes any difference but I thought
I'd point it out.

Please update the trace_ names to match the function.

OK, that function is a bit odd - you're relying on a device having
save_live_complete_precopy to let you know that it's a RAM block; it's
currently true but it'll get more interesting if anyone tries to
add any other postcopy devices.  Please add a comment at least
to point that out.

an odd error; how can that happen?

I don't understand why you do that here?

The other calls to that function print the error it returns!

That 'if' isn't needed - just remove the 3 lines and it will do the same
thing!

These three functions are all very similar;  would it be easier
just to call qemu_loadvm_state_main ?  Perhaps add a flag/enum
parameter to it for it to check which section_types are allowed
in the 3 different cases?
