With the current migration format, VMS_STRUCTs with subsections
are ambiguous.  The protocol cannot tell whether a 0x5 byte after
the VMS_STRUCT is a subsection or part of the parent data stream.
In the past QEMU assumed it was always a part of a subsection; after
commit eb60260 (savevm: fix corruption in vmstate_subsection_load().,
2011-02-03) the choice depends on whether the VMS_STRUCT has subsections
defined.

Unfortunately, this means that if a destination has no subsections
defined for the struct, it will happily read subsection data into
its own fields.  And if you are "lucky" enough to stumble on a
zero byte at the right time, it will be interpreted as QEMU_VM_EOF
and migration will be interrupted.

There is no way out of this except defining an incompatible
migration protocol with a sentinel at the end of embedded structs.
Of course, this is restricted to new machine models.

Because of the change we made for 0.15, this is no longer strictly 
needed.  It only matters if we add a subsection to a structure, right?

I'm definitely not saying we shouldn't do this BTW.  But trying to 
understand whether we can position this as a strictly optional feature 
(iow, a capability) or whether this requires a hard break in the 
migration protocol.

Yes.  We can also check the current migration format in the "needed" 
function for such subsections, if necessary.  This is what I plan to do 
for the floppy subsection, skipping it for old machine types that do not 
use the new migration format.

This what? :)  Adding a subsection to a structure, or using the new 
migration format?  If you mean using the new format only when you have 
subsections in a structure, then you'll need quite a bit of new code to 
try all VMState handlers and see if they'll need a subsection.  I don't 
think it's worth it, also because we all hope this is a temporary 
solution until we have a serious format (e.g. ASN-1).
