+We are declaring the state with name "pckbd". The ``version_id`` is
+3, and there are 4 uint8_t fields in the KBDState structure. We
+registered this ``VMSTATEDescription`` with one of the following
+functions. The first one will generate a device ``instance_id``
+different for each registration. Use the second one if you already
+have an id that is different for each instance of the device:
.. code:: c
- vmstate_register(NULL, 0, &vmstate_kbd, s);
+ vmstate_register_any(NULL, &vmstate_kbd, s);
+ vmstate_register(NULL, instance_id, &vmstate_kbd, s);
For devices that are ``qdev`` based, we can register the device in the class
init function:
