How does this look for marking the device as non-migratable?  It adds a field
'no_migrate' to the SaveStateEntry and tests for it in vmstate_save.  This would
replace anything that touches memory.

I'm not thrilled with the name but the functionality is spot on.  I lack 
the creativity to offer a better name suggestion :-)

Hmmm, in working on this it seems that the memory (from
qemu_ram_map()) is still attached even when the device is removed
(which causes migration to fail because there is an unexpected
memory).

Is something like cpu_unregister_physical_memory()/qemu_ram_free() needed?

Yes.  You need to unregister any memory that you have registered upon 
device removal.

Is there an established way to achieve this?  I can't seem find
another device that unregisters memory registered with
cpu_register_physical_memory().  Is something like
cpu_unregister_physical_memory() needed?

cpu_register_physical_memory(IO_MEM_UNASSIGNED).

If you look at pci.c, you'll see that it automatically unregisters any 
mapped io regions on remove.

It appears that the 'peer' migration won't work until memory hotplug
is supported, correct?  AFAICT the memory sizes will not match between
the source and destination VMs after the device is removed and the
memory system currently doesn't support gaps.  A technique similar to
my patch for non-migratable memory would be needed to mark free'd
memory pages without Alex's patches in.

For the purposes of my patch, can it be merged without the 'peer' case
(pending Alex's patches and hotplug)?

Thanks,
Cam
