Hi

v2:
- fix old_version field for ps2 keyboard (thanks paolo)

v1:
I know you are not going to believe it, but VMState design have flaws:

(everybody) Ooohhhhhhh!!!!

This patches fixes (some) of them:

  * When we added .pre_save() and .post_save(), we have it basically
    to change values in the variable pointed by the "void *opaque".
    Without this functions, it made sense that this variables were const,
    with them, it means that we have to do
      FooState *s = (void *)opaque
    in every pre/post_save() function.  Just remove the const.
  * Add version_id field to post_load().  Now we can assign default values
    in post_load for old versions of the state (ps2_kbd as example).
    This one is also needed for ioapic in qemu-kvm.
  * Add support for sending partial struct arrays (i.e. only some fields starting
    from the beggining) fdc cleanups for getting pc98 in need it.

That is all for now :)

Later, Juan.
