scsi-cd is new in 0.15, older versions have scsi-disk only.  That's why 
we should take the occasion to add the empty vmstate at least to it.

For other devices, it's better to make the breakage in a single version. 
  It also allows to make 0.15 the "flag day" where each device shall 
have a VMState or the entire VM will not be migratable.  If desired, in 
the future we can revert this behavior for pc-0.14 and earlier machines.
