What about non-versioned machines though?
Why do these need to set default_ram_id?
Seems redundant as they don't need to support cross-version
migration ...

So this check for default_ram_id will become redundant after the
patchset is fully applied, this is just for bisect to work well, right?
I couldn't find patches that drop this check though.
