vmstate_save_state serialises a data structure to the migration stream
using a description.  In this case it's saving some of the data in
'savevm_state' using 'vmstate_configuration'.  If you follow
the two you can see that 'savevm_state' is of type 'SaveState'.
If you look at 'vmstate_configuration' it defines that two fields
from that strcture are saved 'len' and 'name' and also the
target_page_bits fields.
