This changes migration format, so it will break compatibility with
existing drivers. More generally, I think migrating internal
state that is not guest visible is always a mistake
as it ties migration format to an internal implementation
(yes, I know we do this sometimes, but we should at least
try not to add such cases). I think the right thing to do in this case
is to flush outstanding
work when vm is stopped. Then, we are guaranteed that inuse is 0.
I sent patches that do this for virtio net and block.
