Why move these chunk?  Can it be avoided?

What's the point to keep this state after all?...

... and this state is much more meaningless afaict ...

Also, I would prefer to add a general event framework for migration
rather than "ram save" specific.  Then we add SYNC_START/SYNC_END
events.  These notifiers aren't a lot, it'll be a bit awkward to
introduce the framework multiple times for similar purpuse (after we
have a common notifier we can merge the postcopy notifiers AFAIU).
