cpu: Rename CPUClass vmsd -> legacy_vmsd
Quoting Peter Maydell [*]: There are two ways to handle migration for a CPU object: (1) like any other device, so it has a dc->vmsd that covers migration for the whole object. As usual for objects that are a subclass of a parent that has state, the first entry in the VMStateDescription field list is VMSTATE_CPU(), which migrates the cpu_common fields, followed by whatever the CPU's own migration fields are. (2) a backwards-compatible mechanism for CPUs that were originally migrated using manual "write fields to the migration stream structures". The on-the-wire migration format for those is based on the 'env' pointer (which isn't a QOM object), and the cpu_common part of the migration data is elsewhere. cpu_exec_realizefn() handles both possibilities: * for type 1, dc->vmsd is set and cc->vmsd is not, so cpu_exec_realizefn() does nothing, and the standard "register dc->vmsd for a device" code does everything needed * for type 2, dc->vmsd is NULL and so we register the vmstate_cpu_common directly to handle the cpu-common fields, and the cc->vmsd to handle the per-CPU stuff You can't change a CPU from one type to the other without breaking migration compatibility, which is why some guest architectures are stuck on the cc->vmsd form. New targets should use dc->vmsd. To avoid new targets to start using type (2), rename cc->vmsd as cc->legacy_vmsd. The correct field to implement is dc->vmsd (the DeviceClass one). See also commit b170fce3dd0 ("cpu: Register VMStateDescription through CPUState") for historic background.
