Aaron Lindsay 8c07559fc7 migration: Add post_save function to VMStateDescription
In some cases it may be helpful to modify state before saving it for
migration, and then modify the state back after it has been saved. The
existing pre_save function provides half of this functionality. This
patch adds a post_save function to provide the second half.

Marc-André Lureau c26763f8ec memory: learn about non-volatile memory region
Add a new flag to mark memory region that are used as non-volatile, by
NVDIMM for example. That bit is propagated down to the flat view, and
reflected in HMP info mtree with a "nv-" prefix on the memory type.

This way, guest_phys_blocks_region_add() can skip the NV memory
regions for dumps and TCG memory clear in a following patch.

Clarify that the pre_load function in a subsection is only called if

Greg Kurz c2eb7f213a migration: improve documentation of postcopy-ram
This capability must have the same value on both source and destination,
otherwise migration fails (commit 875fcd013a "migration: incoming
postcopy advise sanity checks").

Let's write it down in various places where postcopy-ram is documented.
