[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] remove unused VMSTateField.start

[Halil Pasic <pasic@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

The member VMStateField.start was solely used to implement the partial
data migration for VBUFFER data (basically provide migration for a
sub-buffer). However the implementation of this feature is broken, but
this goes unnoticed since the feature is not used at all.

Let us add an unit test for VBUFFER and then remove the useless
VMStateFiled.start.

An additional benefit is that .start can be re introduced to be used for
linked structures as proposed by Jianjun in "[QEMU PATCH v6 2/2]
migration: migrate QTAILQ".
