Quoting from http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/218078:
> The MemoryRegion name is free text that can be changed as desired and
> doesn't need to match the type name.
>
> The TYPE_* constant serves to keep consistency between usages of the
> string literal but does not prohibit changing its value.
>
> The VMStateDescription should thus not use the TYPE_* constant because
> it must not ever change for live migration. Renaming a type is a valid
> thing to do if there is no command line compatibility to keep (think
> board-level "xlnx.foo" -> "xlnx,foo").
