target-ppc: Allow eventual removal of old migration mistakes
Until very recently, the vmstate for ppc cpus included some poorly thought out VMSTATE_EQUAL() components, that can easily break migration compatibility, and did so between qemu-2.6 and later versions. A hack was recently added which fixes this migration breakage, but it leaves the unhelpful cruft of these fields in the migration stream. This patch adds a new cpu property allowing these fields to be removed from the stream entirely. For the pseries-2.8 machine type - which comes after the fix - and for all non-pseries machine types - which aren't mature enough to care about cross-version migration - we remove the fields from the stream. For pseries-2.7 and earlier, The migration hack remains in place, allowing backwards and forwards migration with the older machine types. This restricts the migration compatibility cruft to older machine types, and at least opens the possibility of eventually deprecating and removing it entirely.
