Has a warning.

/mnt/kvm/qemu/next/hw/virtio/virtio.c: In function ‘virtio_load’:
/mnt/kvm/qemu/next/hw/virtio/virtio.c:931:22: error: format ‘%i’ expects argument of type ‘int’, but argument 2 has type ‘size_t’ [-Werror=format=]
                      config_len, vdev->config_len);
                      ^

changing config_len to size_t.
